TIM – The Rome-headquartered Italian telecom company serves as the title sponsor to the Italian first division, because of which it is called Serie A TIM.
TIM and Lega Serie A have been partners since 1998. The two last renewed their partnership in July 2018 to run until the end of the 2020-21 season in a deal reportedly worth €15 million per year.

The Panini Group and football go back a long way. For many decades, Panini has created trading cards based around football players, making “Panini” a very common word among many football-mad households.
Panini’s partnership with Serie A gives the company image rights to the league players to feature in its trading cards collection. Panini also enjoys a strong branding presence across Serie A’s physical and digital assets.
Nike – The American sports equipment giant has been an official sponsor of Serie A since 2007.
