Everton today announced a partnership with online streaming platform Kick. As part of the agreement, Kick's logo will appear on Everton Men's Senior Team's shirt sleeves during a pre-season friendly against Sporting CP.
Everton 23-24 kits featuring the new sleeve sponsor should be available to buy soon, with more information to be provided shortly.
Everton's partnership with Kick is not unexpected, considering the links between main sponsor Stake.com and Kick. Stake.com founded Kick after Twitch banned gambling streams last year. It is possible that KICK will replace Stake as Everton's front-of-shirt sponsor once the Premier League's ban on gambling sponsors takes effect in the 2026-27 season.
Richard Kenyon, Everton’s Chief Commercial and Communications Officer, said: “We’re really pleased to announce and launch this innovative partnership with KICK. Working with KICK provides us with some fantastic opportunities to reach and engage with new audiences over the course of the coming season and we already have some exciting plans for matchday experiences, starting this week with our fixture against Sporting CP.”
Akhil Sarin, Director of Acquisition for KICK, said: “Partnering with Everton is an exciting step forward for KICK. We are a young, ambitious brand and to join forces with a global football powerhouse will do wonders for us. We can’t wait for Everton fans and the football community to see what our platform has to offer and the incredible content that will be showcased there.”
