Top 10 Best English Soccer Teams

English soccer has a rich history filled with legendary clubs, intense rivalries, and unforgettable moments. From historic teams that have dominated for decades to rising forces that have recently made their presence felt, the country is home to some of the most successful and well-supported clubs in the world.

Some teams have built their legacy through decades of domestic dominance, while others have made their name on the European stage. Certain clubs are known for their attacking style and flair, while others are celebrated for their discipline and tactical brilliance. No matter what draws you to a team, whether it's their history, their success, or their passionate fanbase, everyone has their own opinion on which club stands above the rest.

The Top Ten

  1. Chelsea

    Chelsea Football Club is a professional football club based in London, England, that competes in the Premier League. Founded in 1905, the club has played at its home ground, Stamford Bridge, since its inception. Chelsea won their first league title in 1955 and secured several domestic cup victories between... read more

    We beat Bayern in 2012 despite conceding a late header by Müller and a penalty, which was saved by the legendary Petr Čech in overtime. Then, in 2021, they beat Real Madrid with the same score they had when they beat Liverpool in the quarter-finals.

    After that, going into the finals for the first time in 9 years, Kai Havertz scored in the 42nd minute and helped Chelsea win their second Champions League cup.

    These guys are legends. Their defense is like a wall. They have English legends like Gary Cahill, and don't forget John Terry. They have proven talent like Loic Remy and Diego Costa. Epic goalkeeper Courtois. Some people say they're only good because of their money. They only say that because they're jealous.

  2. Liverpool

    Liverpool Football Club is a Premier League association football club based in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. Founded in 1892, the club has won numerous domestic and international titles, including multiple UEFA Champions League trophies. Anfield is the club's home stadium.

    You only have to enter Anfield on game day, and the atmosphere will tell the complete story. When the fans welcome the team with "You'll Never Walk Alone," it will make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end.

    They have never been relegated from the top tier in almost sixty years and have always had a superstar on their team. Their entertaining style never gets old. Their record speaks for itself. Once a Red, always a Red. Y.N.W.A. Forever.

    The dominance that Liverpool had in the '70s and '80s, along with the present-day success and spirit, is what makes Liverpool F.C. the best club in England. Manchester United arose from jealousy, as did the industrial rivalry.

    Liverpool have been the most successful club of the 20th century, and the current century is still young. Give us time, and the Liver Bird will fly back onto its perch, overlooking all teams. Y.N.W.A.

  3. Manchester United

    Manchester United Football Club is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, that competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football. The club was founded in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR F.C. and changed its name to Manchester United in 1902. It is one... read more

    The most exciting football club in the world! No other team in the world was or is better than the Busby Babes. Best, Edwards, Law, Charlton, Ronaldo, just some of the brilliant world-class players to have worn the famous red shirt.

    They are a really good team. They have a lot of world-class players and they still can win a lot of titles from the Premier League and the Champions League.

    Man UTD, back in their glory days, had a really strong squad. If only Liverpool had won the Premier League more than Man Utd, then I would count them as the best Premier League side in history.

  4. Arsenal

    Arsenal Football Club is a professional football team based in Islington, London, England. The club competes in the Premier League, which is the highest level of English football. Arsenal has a rich history, including multiple league titles and domestic cup victories.

    Arsenal is a great soccer team to watch. They have a beautiful style of play, just like Barcelona. They make accurate passes most of the time, with outstanding ball possession, and they have greatly improved their scoring chances. The players and the coach are very disciplined.

    Petr Čech is a great keeper, Mesut Özil is fantastic, Alexis Sánchez is excellent, Alex Iwobi is doing great, Granit Xhaka is sharp, and the team's blend is great. Kudos to Arsène Wenger, who I can say is an excellent coach with a great ability to manage the club's finances and get great results as well. Soccer history would not be complete without mentioning Thierry Henry.

  5. Manchester City

    Manchester City Football Club, commonly known as City, is a football club in Manchester, England. Founded in 1880 as St. Mark's, it became Ardwick Association Football Club in 1887 and Manchester City in 1894. The club has won multiple Premier League titles in the 21st century and is one of England's... read more

    Man City are defending Premier League Champions. As of early 2015, teams like Arsenal and Liverpool would be lucky to claim a Champions League spot. As if this wasn't enough, Man City are the only team currently keeping up with Chelsea in the league.

    Coming from a United fan, Middlesbrough shouldn't be above Man City. Man City has been quite successful this entire decade, even winning a quadruple for the 2018-19 season: FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Community Shield, and Premier League.

    2017-18 Premier League champions, breaking more records in a season in the toughest division in the world. PSG could only dream of the stuff we broke. And they have a farmer's league!

  6. Middlesbrough

  7. Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, commonly referred to as Spurs, is an English football club located in Tottenham, Haringey, London. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1882, Tottenham has won multiple domestic and international trophies, including two... read more

    I came here because of Harry Kane, the best striker! I'm not judging the club by how small or big it was, but what concerns me is their skills and improvement. And Spurs are trying to be on top!

    Tottenham is the best English team because they have one of the best players in all of England!

    This club is great. We should at least be in the top ten. In fact, not too long ago, we were the best in the Premier League.

  8. Charlton Athletic

  9. Southampton

  10. Everton

    Everton Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England, that competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. The club has played in the top division for a record 121 seasons, missing it only four times since The Football League was founded in 1888. Everton... read more

    Everton are highly underrated. Despite being an Everton fan, I believe all they need is some money to bring in a fresh new center forward to add some spark to the team. Their glory in the '80s was amazing, and in the '60s, we were unstoppable.

    We had players like Alan Ball, Brian Labone, and World Cup winner Ray Wilson. In the late '20s and '30s, Dixie Dean was the best player on the planet. He scored 60 goals in the league in the 1927/1928 season, a record yet to be broken.

    11. The Newcomers

  13. Leeds United

    Leeds United Football Club is a professional football team based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. Founded in 1919, the club has a long and storied history in English football.

    Leeds United has won several major honors, including the First Division title and the FA Cup. As of 2025, the club competes... read more

    The Don Revie side and the David O'Leary side were the best sides Leeds ever had. I am so glad to have witnessed both in my time.

    Eddie Gray on his day or Harry Kewell on his day could destroy sides.

    The Leeds United supporters are some of the most fanatical in world football.

    Must be the best supporters after the last 10 years of heartache.

    It's not if, it is just when we will rejoin the elite clubs.

  14. Huddersfield Town

    Brilliant team who broke lots of records last season, unfortunately for the wrong reasons!

  15. Mansfield Town

  16. Leicester City

    Why is Leicester City at the bottom? In my opinion, they deserve to be at the top. Also, can you believe it, Chelsea is number one!

    We love you, we love you, we are going up. EIEIO, up the football league we go. True Leicester fan.

    The best players in the whole of the UK are in this team, like Vardy. Vardy also wrote a book. Schmeichel is the best ever goalie in the UK.

  17. West Ham United

    West Ham United Football Club is a professional football club based in Stratford, East London, England. The team competes in the Premier League, which is the top tier of English football. Originally founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks, the club adopted the name West Ham United in 1900 and has a long-standing... read more

  18. Newcastle United

    Newcastle United Football Club is a professional football team based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The club plays in the Premier League, which is the top level of English football. Newcastle United has a rich history and plays its home games at St James' Park, one of the most iconic stadiums in the... read more

    A massive club going through a rough time at the minute. TOON TOON.

  19. Gainsborough Trinity

    I've heard that Gainsborough Trinity was better than Manchester United. Despite having better statistics relative to its league, most likely because Manchester United was relegated more, Manchester United would probably thrash Gainsborough Trinity 4-1 in a friendly match.

  20. Aston Villa

    Aston Villa Football Club is a professional football club based in Aston, Birmingham, England. The club was founded in 1874 and has a long and successful history in English football. Aston Villa has won multiple league titles and domestic trophies, and it remains a prominent team in the Premier League... read more

    A stellar history with good values. They are getting back to the European level of football now that they are back in the top flight.

    Great fans, home and away. We're not rich or the best club in the world, but the fans stick with the club, and we do the best we can. With Tim Sherwood, we'll be doing great, at least top 10 this season!

    Form is temporary, class is permanent. AVFC embodies class in every aspect.

  21. Wolverhampton Wanderers

    Won 3 league titles and 4 FA Cups and the instigators of European football with their friendlies against the top sides on the continent in the '50s! So, if it wasn't for Wolves, we wouldn't have the Champions League we have today!

    A great fan base with plenty of history. Also extremely influential at the beginning of the Champions League.

    Top team, and we are back in the top flight where we belong!

  22. Burnley

  23. Stoke City

    Best fans in the world. City till I die.

  24. Brighton & Hove Albion

    From nowhere to the Premier League, thanks to the vision of their Chairman and the wonderful fan base. A team to be proud of.

    60 years a Brighton fan. From almost extinction to 8th in the Premier League. A team to be proud of.

    Cultured, visionary, magnificent.

  25. Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace Football Club is an English professional football club based in South Norwood, London, that plays in the Premier League, the highest tier in English football. The club was founded in 1905 and plays its home games at Selhurst Park. Its colors are red and blue.

  27. AFC Bournemouth
