Premier League powerhouse Arsenal have extended their shirt sponsorship deal with long-time partner Emirates Airline. The Gunners are set to flaunt Emirates’ logo in front of their shirts until June 2028.
Emirates first came on board as Arsenal’s shirt sponsors in 2006, and the partnership has only grown stronger since. With the new deal in place, Emirates is set to remain the chief sponsor for the club’s men’s, women’s, and academy team shirts for at least 22 years.

Arsenal and Emirates have been in business for 19 years
While Emirates came on as the north Londoner’s shirt sponsors in 2006, they first entered a partnership with Arsenal two years prior, in 2004. They struck a deal to hold the naming rights for the Londoner’s new stadium. The deal was renewed in 2012, allowing Emirates to hold the name for 16 more years, until 2028.
