Premier League Sponsors 2019-20: Every Club's Shirt and Kit

The 2019-20 Premier League season ran from August 2019 to July 2020, stretched by the pandemic, and ended with Liverpool as champions. It was also the high point of betting sponsorship in English football: 11 of the 20 clubs wore a gambling brand across the front of their shirts.

Below is every club's shirt sponsor and kit maker for that season, the league's own commercial partners, and what has changed since, above all the ban on gambling shirt sponsors that took effect with the 2026-27 season.

Premier League 2019-20: kit makers and shirt sponsors

Who paid for the shirts

Betting brands on 11 of 20 shirts

Eleven clubs carried gambling companies: Aston Villa (W88), Bournemouth (M88), Burnley (LoveBet), Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers (both ManBetX), Everton (SportPesa), Newcastle United (Fun88), Norwich City (Dafabet), Southampton (LD Sports), Watford (Sportsbet.io) and West Ham United (Betway). Most were Asian-facing brands buying visibility with the league's large overseas television audience rather than with fans in England.

The rest of the league

The biggest clubs relied on long-standing deals outside betting: airlines at Arsenal (Emirates) and Manchester City (Etihad Airways), banks and financial services at Liverpool (Standard Chartered), Tottenham Hotspur (AIA) and Brighton & Hove Albion (American Express), and carmaking at Manchester United (Chevrolet). Leicester City carried King Power, the duty-free group owned by the club's owners. Chelsea's shirt read Yokohama Tyres; its switch to the mobile network Three began on 1 July 2020, as the season was finishing. Bournemouth replaced M88 with Vitality for its final nine games after the restart in June 2020.

Sleeves and kits

Sleeve sponsorship, allowed since 2017-18, was still new. Deals confirmed for that season include Visit Rwanda at Arsenal, Western Union at Liverpool, Nexen Tire at Manchester City, Kohler at Manchester United and StormGain at Newcastle. On kits, Adidas supplied six clubs, Umbro four, Nike and Puma three each, with New Balance, Erreà, Kappa and Under Armour one apiece.

The league's own partners

Beyond the clubs, the Premier League sold its own partnerships. EA Sports was lead partner. Barclays renewed as official bank for the three seasons from 2019-20 to 2021-22. Budweiser took over the beer category from Carling in 2019. Coca-Cola had been official soft drink since 2018-19 and Cadbury official snack since 2017. Nike supplied the match ball, and Panini took the collectables licence from 2019-20.

Where things stand now

On 13 April 2023 the Premier League's clubs agreed collectively to withdraw gambling sponsorship from the front of their matchday shirts. The rule applies from the 2026-27 season, which is now under way, so a line-up in which more than half the league wore betting brands cannot recur. The agreement covers the front of the shirt only; sleeve and stadium deals with gambling companies remain permitted.

Several 2019-20 arrangements have also changed on their own terms. Liverpool left New Balance for Nike in 2020, Chelsea's Yokohama deal gave way to Three, and Nike's run as match-ball supplier ended when Puma took over from 2025-26.
