PRINCIPAL PARTNER

Betway

The global online bookmaker has been West Ham’s Principal Partner since February 2015. The deal, initially set to be worth around £20m over the first three years, was extended first in 2016, then for a further six years in May 2019, with the annual revenue bumped up to £10m.

Betway’s association with West Ham over the last six years has been a fruitful one, with the former partaking in a lot of fan engagement initiatives – the Betway Academy, Betway Fan Taxi and West Ham Supermarket Sweep, to name a few. However, all’s not rosy for the two parties, as in 2020 Betway was handed a record £11.6m fine for a series of social responsibility and money laundering failings.

SHIRT PARTNERS

Umbro

The Manchester-headquartered British sportswear company has been the Technical Partner of West Ham’s men’s, women’s and youth academy’s matchday and training kits since 2015, when it replaced German sportswear rival Adidas.
