Emirates Extends Arsenal Partnership to 2033 After Two Decades Together

Emirates and Arsenal have extended one of football’s longest-running commercial partnerships until 2033.

The new agreement keeps the Dubai-based airline as Arsenal’s men’s and women’s front-of-shirt sponsor, training-kit sponsor and stadium naming-rights partner.

Financial terms were not officially disclosed. Reports valuing the renewal at approximately £70m per year remain unconfirmed and should not be presented as formal deal terms.

Emirates first partnered with Arsenal in 2006 as the club moved from Highbury to its new north London stadium. The venue has carried the Emirates Stadium name throughout the relationship, while the airline’s branding has appeared on Arsenal’s shirts for two decades.

The extension takes the partnership to 27 years and continues beyond the club’s existing agreement, which had been due to expire in 2028.

Emirates will also continue supporting the Emirates Cup, Arsenal’s annual pre-season fixture. The 2026 edition will see the Premier League champions host Borussia Dortmund.

The partnership gives Emirates continuous visibility across the Premier League, Champions League, women’s football and Arsenal’s global digital platforms. It also provides a long-term association with a stadium that has incorporated the airline into its identity rather than treating it solely as a naming-rights sponsor.

For Arsenal, the agreement secures three premium commercial assets—shirt, training kit and stadium naming rights—inside one long-term relationship at a particularly strong point in the club’s sporting cycle.
