Everton signs Christopher Ward as Training Kit Partner

Premier League club Everton has signed a new multi-year partnership with British watch brand Christopher Ward, who joins Everton as their first-ever Official Training Kit Partner. As the Training Kit Partner, Christopher Ward will have branding presence across Everton’s training ground and on the Everton men’s and women’s team’s training gear starting from the upcoming 2026/27 season. Christopher Ward will also have prominent branding across the club’s social and matchday platforms which will include  LED advertising, media backdrops and in-stadium branding at Hill Dickinson Stadium and Goodison Park.

Starting from the 2027/28 season, Christopher Ward will also support the Everton U18 and Academy teams by appearing on their training kits along with their partnership with the men’s and women’s senior teams. Christopher Ward has previously served as the club’s Official Global Timing Partner, Official Shirt Sleeve Partner and as a Founding Partner of the Hill Dickinson Stadium. 

Andrew Middleton, President of Business Operations at Everton, commented,

“Christopher Ward has been a bold, innovative and committed partner to Everton, and we are delighted to see that relationship continue to grow through this landmark agreement. Becoming our first-ever Official Training Kit Partner is a significant step. It not only reflects the strength of the partnership, but places Christopher Ward directly within the environment where our teams prepare, develop and strive for excellence every day, while also providing valuable global exposure through training and matchday activity. From their role as a Founding Partner of Hill Dickinson Stadium, to the creation of 53° North and their support for Everton Women and Everton in the Community, Christopher Ward has consistently shown a genuine understanding of this Club, our supporters and our ambitions for the future. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Mike France and the Christopher Ward team as we build on this partnership and explore new opportunities together during this exciting next chapter for the Club.”

Mike France, CEO and Co-founder of Christopher Ward, added,

“We believe that excellence is built on the smallest details – whether in the precision of a mechanical watch or the marginal gains that define elite football. Becoming Everton’s first-ever Training Kit Partner feels like a natural next step in our journey together. It builds on our presence both on and off matchday by embedding us even further into the Club – in the daily environment where performance is really shaped, behind the scenes on the training ground. That’s something we recognise deeply in watchmaking: the discipline, precision and constant refinement that sits beneath the surface. There’s a genuine alignment between our worlds, built on timing and a relentless drive to improve.”
