Liverpool have announced a new shirt sponsorship deal with Turkish Airlines worth more than £60m a year to the club.
The five-year deal will generate more than £300m for Liverpool when it comes into effect from the start of the 2027-28 season. Turkish Airlines will replace Standard Chartered, Liverpool’s main club partner since 2010, on the front of the men’s, women’s and academy match shirts.

Standard Chartered has been Liverpool’s main partner for 17 years and the current deal is understood to be worth around £50m per season. The company will become a global partner of Liverpool from 2027-28.
Liverpool believe the agreement with Turkish Airlines is the most lucrative shirt deal in Premier League history, although Manchester United claimed their arrangement with Snapdragon is also worth more than £60m a year.
Either way, Liverpool’s new shirt deal underlines the huge commercial pull of a club that posted record revenues of £703m in the financial year ending 31 May 2025.
The club’s owner, Fenway Sports Group, is also poised to make £2bn from selling a 38% stake to 1892 Holdings, a consortium led by Amit Bhatia and including the Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, and the Facebook co‑founder Eduardo Saverin.
“This is a milestone announcement for us and we are delighted to welcome Turkish Airlines as our main club partner from June 2027,” the Liverpool chief commercial officer, Ben Latty, said.
“The front of the Liverpool shirt holds a special place in the history of our club. Turkish Airlines is a globally recognised organisation with an extensive international network, and we look forward to beginning our partnership and building a strong relationship together, with already strong foundations built from those special memories back in 2005 [in Istanbul].”
Standard Chartered had a window of exclusivity to renew that expired last year. Liverpool’s sleeve sponsorship deal, presently with Expedia for between £9m and £12m a season, is also up for renewal.
