Crystal Palace has announced that Temporal, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) company, will be its new main shirt sponsor starting in the 2026-27 season.
In a multi-year deal, Temporal will replace current sponsor, online gambling and sports betting platform NET88.
The change comes as the Premier League prepares to ban sponsorship from betting companies.
The agreement with Temporal includes not only the men’s first team but also the youth teams. The English club stated that the AI company “will support the community through the Palace for Life Foundation.”
Conference League final will be NET88 last game
NET88 will also appear on Crystal Palace’s shirt in the last two matches of the season, in the home game against champions Arsenal next Sunday and in the Conference League final against Spanish side Rayo Vallecano.
“Crystal Palace has always partnered with innovative and ambitious partners, and our new collaboration with Temporal to feature on the front of the shirt fits perfectly into this vision,” said Barry Webber, Chief Commercial Officer of the English team.
“Their cutting-edge platform will support some of the most exciting technologies in football, and we are delighted that this journey begins with Palace and our fans in South London and around the world,” he added.
