The deal will include exclusive fan activations, centre circle experiences, access to tickets, as well as becoming a partner of the upcoming Premier League Summer Series.
Coca-Cola will activate the sponsorship across multiple brands within its portfolio, including Coca-Cola Original Taste, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Powerade and Smartwater.
The partnership will launch for the 2025/26 season with an exclusive on-pack promotion in stores across the UK and Ireland.
Javier Meza, President of Marketing, Europe, Coca-Cola, commented: “We are thrilled to be partnering with the Premier League, the most competitive and compelling football league in the world. Football and the Premier League are global passion points, and we look forward to uplifting fans and making their experience even better by bringing them closer to the action.”
Rob Yeomans, Vice-President, Commercial Development at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners GB, added: “Coca-Cola’s brand purpose is about bringing people together, and that’s exactly what happens on match days. This partnership is a brilliant opportunity to connect with fans through the drinks they know and love – and we know it will drive sales for retailers. With the Premier League’s incredible reach and our portfolio of much-loved brands, we’re well-placed to drive meaningful impact for our customers while creating memorable moments for consumers.”
