stan kroenke’s company has another major title to add to its list after Arsenal sealed the Premier League crown on Tuesday for the first time in over two decades. For Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, the result extends a run that already includes championships in the NFL, NHL and NBA.
Arsenal Joins the Kroenke Ledger
Arsenal’s title gives Stan Kroenke and his son Josh another centerpiece trophy inside a portfolio that now stretches across several leagues. The LA Rams won the Super Bowl under the company’s ownership in the last five years, the Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 2022, and the Denver Nuggets followed with their first-ever NBA championship in 2023.
The Premier League finish also sharpens the contrast around Arsenal itself. Kroenke Sports & Entertainment took full ownership of the club in 2018, a move the Arsenal Supporters' Trust called a “dreadful day” for the club, and supporters protested again in 2021 after the failed European Super League involvement.
Stan Kroenke and Josh Kroenke
Stan Kroenke is 78 years old and keeps a low profile, earning the nickname Silent Stan because he seldom gives interviews. Yet a joint message from him and Josh Kroenke before Monday night’s game against Burnley pointed to the direction they want this sports empire to keep moving: “We will give everything we’ve got to win major trophies and you can rest assured that everyone at the club will continue the hard work to make the coming weeks unforgettable,” they said.
They added: “The connection we feel with our supporters fills us with pride.” Their message also said, “Between us, we are building something very special and, wherever this month of May takes us, there will be no standing still when the season ends.”
PSG in Budapest on May 30
Arsenal can still add one more trophy to the Kroenke collection by beating Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest on May 30. That is the one major prize left from the list laid out by the club’s recent run, with the Champions League now standing as the final gap in a trophy cabinet that has filled fast across football, baseball, basketball, hockey and American football.
