Arsenal and Emirates have agreed a five-year extension to their long-standing sponsorship deal, with the renewed agreement reportedly worth around £70 million per season.
The airline will continue as the club’s principal shirt sponsor, while also retaining its branding on Arsenal’s training kit and the naming rights to the Emirates Stadium until 2033.
The partnership, which began in 2006, is the longest-running sponsorship agreement in the Premier League. According to British media reports, the new contract represents a significant increase in value compared with the previous deal, which was estimated to be worth around £50 million per year.
Richard Garlick, Arsenal Chief Executive, said: “Winning the Premier League is an incredibly proud moment in our club’s history and one that belongs to everyone connected with Arsenal. Emirates has been an integral part of this success – standing alongside us throughout this journey and sharing in the defining moments, challenges and successes that have shaped our club over the past two decades.
Winning the title gives us the opportunity to be more ambitious and build on where we are today. Our renewal reflects a shared belief in Arsenal’s future and a shared determination to keep moving forward. The best partnerships, like the best teams, never stand still. Together, we’ll continue to challenge and build on the strong foundations we have built together, with the confidence and ambition that our greatest achievements still lie ahead.”
Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline, said, “Over the last two decades, Emirates and Arsenal have built something that goes far beyond a traditional partnership, and one we are immensely proud of. We have grown alongside the club through changes of era and ambition, united by a shared goal of bringing people closer to what they love. In practice, that has meant reaching the millions who follow Arsenal across the Emirates network and beyond and creating experiences for them that neither of us could have done alone.
