Arsenal FC: Emirates (airline) extends as main shirt sponsor until 2027-28

Emirates, an Emirati airline, has extended its contract as main shirt sponsor of Arsenal FC (Premier League) for a further four seasons (2024-2028), announced the club on 02/08/2023. The agreement, which began in 2006-07 and now covers a total of 22 seasons, is the longest main shirt sponsorship contract in the history of the English league.

The agreement, worth €45.1m per year, is also the second most lucrative main shirt sponsorship deal in the Premier League, behind Standard Chartered's deal with Liverpool FC (2010-2027, €56.2m per season), and the fifth most lucrative among the European Top 5 leagues. The Emirati company also has the naming rights to Arsenal's Emirates Stadium (London, England) for the 2004-2028 cycle, for an estimated £10m (€11.6m) per year.

Emirates also has the most lucrative main shirt sponsorship deal in the European Top 5, with Real Madrid CF (LaLiga EA Sports, 2013-2026): the Spanish club receives €70m per season from the airline. The airline has also been the main shirt sponsor of AC Milan (Serie A TIM) since the 2010-11 season.
