The Football League First Division 1934/35 was the 43rd season of the highest English football league . It began on August 25, 1934 and ended on May 4, 1935.

The Arsenal won with four points ahead of the AFC Sunderland 's now the fourth English championship and this is the third time in a row. Both newly promoted Grimsby Town and Preston North End were able to hold the class; instead, Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur had to move into the Second Division .

A total of 542 players were used, with Grimsby Town with 19 the fewest and Tottenham Hotspur with 36 the most players in league games. 136 newcomers opposed 153 footballers, who last came into play in the 1934/35 season. 24 players were able to play all 42 league games in their club.

    The Arsenal FC championship team

    The following list shows all players who played in a league game for Arsenal FC during the 1934/35 season. It must be noted that in English football a minimum number of games is usually required in order to receive the official championship medal. Since there was uncertainty about the specific regulation before the introduction of the Premier League, all players who presumably did not receive a championship medal due to their low contribution were marked with an asterisk (*). The number of appearances and the goals scored are given in brackets, lastly the number of all first division games up to that point. The Arsenal players had played a total of 2,657 first division games at the end of the season.
