Circle Becomes Official Sponsor of Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club has signed Circle Internet Group as its principal partner and official front-of-shirt sponsor from the 2026/27 season. The USDC stablecoin issuer will appear on Chelsea's Men's, Women's, and Academy shirts, debuting at Stamford Bridge this Sunday.

The deal marks a significant milestone for Circle, which has been expanding into football sponsorship. Jeremy Allaire, co-founder and CEO of Circle, said that partnering with Chelsea connects them with a global sports community built on the same borderless vision as their company.

Chelsea's president Jason Gannon noted that the partnership positions the club at the front of football's digital shift. The deal coincides with the women's team's first season playing home matches at Stamford Bridge.
