We look at where the league has been decided and if Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium could be a new ground added to the list
The 2025/26 Premier League title could be decided on Tuesday night when Manchester City visit AFC Bournemouth.
Following Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Burnley on Monday evening, Pep Guardiola’s second-placed Man City side must beat Bournemouth to take the title race to the final day on Sunday 24 May.
So far, the title has been decided at 18 different stadia since the Premier League’s inception in 1992/93, and Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium could become the 19th, should Man City slip up.
Manchester United’s Old Trafford home has hosted a competition-high six title-deciding fixtures, followed by Stamford Bridge (Chelsea), with five.
If Man City beat Bournemouth today, the title will be decided on Sunday at either Selhurst Park – for the second occasion – when Arsenal travel to Crystal Palace, or at the Etihad Stadium for a fifth time as Guardiola’s side welcome Aston Villa.
Here, we take a look at where the title has been won over the years, and when.
