MAIN CLUB PARTNERS
American Express
New York-headquartered American multinational financial services corporation American Express (or Amex) has been the biggest and long-standing partner of Brighton and Hove Albion FC (for over a decade). The two first came together in 2010 with a naming rights deal for the club’s stadium (and so, “Falmer Stadium” is known as the “American Express Stadium”, commonly referred to as “the Amex”), which was expanded with a kit sponsorship agreement in 2013 in a deal reportedly worth £1.5 million per season.
The two parties further extended their partnership in August 2019 with a 12-year extension in an enhanced deal reportedly worth north of £100 million.
Amex has been a veritable contributor to the Brighton community. It has its UK headquarters located in Brighton and is one of the largest private sector employers in the region. The BHAFC deal strengthens its association with the city and also grants the company naming rights across the club’s women’s and disability squads in a bid to encourage diversity and inclusion within the community.
Nike
The Beaverton, Oregon-based company has been the Technical Kit Supplier of the Seagulls since 2014 and continues to do so for the club’s men’s and women’s sides—both senior and youth setups.
The last extension of the Nike-BHAFC partnership was announced in January 2022—a three-year deal reportedly worth £2.5 million per year that was set to run until 2024.
Despite no reliable reports on a contract renewal, the latest launch of the Seagulls home kit in July 2024 means the American sportswear giant will be working together with the club at least until the end of the 2024/25 season.
Experience Kissimmee
Florida tourism marketing agency Experience Kissimmee signed a multi-year partnership deal with BHAFC in June 2024.

Experience Kissimmee also enjoys branded signage at the Amex.
