Premier League: IFS (AI) main shirt sponsor of Chelsea FC for the remainder of the 2025-26 season

IFS, a Swedish AI-powered industrial software company, has become the main shirt sponsor of Chelsea FC (Premier League) for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, announced the club on 20/02/2026.

This agreement, which marks "the beginning of a long-term collaboration" between the two parties, "will see IFS bring its software and market-leading AI agents to Chelsea to drive precision across the club’s operations, enhancing performance in almost every aspect of the club’s work," said the club.

Chelsea have not featured a main shirt sponsor since the start of the 2025-26 season. Similarly, the club entered into a main shirt sponsorship agreement with Damac Properties, a Dubai-based (UAE) luxury real estate company, late in the 2024-25 season (on 30/04/2025). The 2023-24 season was the last in which the club had a main sponsor for the entire campaign: Infinite Athlete, an American AI technology company, for an estimated £40m (€46.1m).
