The announcement marks the next chapter in Liverpool FC’s commercial history and will represent the first change to the club’s main club partner in 17 years.
Standard Chartered, Liverpool’s main club partner since 2010, will remain in the position throughout the 2026-27 season before transitioning to become a global partner from the 2027-28 season, continuing one of the longest-standing partnerships in world football.
Over 17 years as main club partner, Standard Chartered has played an important role in Liverpool’s recent history, sharing some of the club’s most significant moments and working alongside the club to make a positive contribution to both supporters and communities around the world.
From June 2027, Turkish Airlines will become Liverpool FC’s main club partner, bringing together two organisations with a shared international reach and a commitment to connecting people around the world.
LFC’s supporter base spans every continent, while Turkish Airlines connects east and west through the world’s most extensive international flight network, flying to more countries than any other airline from its Istanbul hub.
The new partnership will also mark a significant moment in the history of the LFC shirt. The front of the shirt is one of the most recognisable positions in world sport and one that the club has historically reserved for long-term and meaningful partnerships.
Turkish Airlines will become part of that history from the 2027-28 season, as Liverpool FC enters a new chapter both on and off the pitch.
Ben Latty, chief commercial officer at LFC, said: “This is a milestone announcement for us and we are delighted to welcome Turkish Airlines as our main club partner from June 2027.
“The front of the Liverpool shirt holds a special place in the history of our club. Turkish Airlines is a globally recognised organisation with an extensive international network, and we look forward to beginning our partnership and building a strong relationship together, with already strong foundations built from those special memories back in 2005.
“This announcement also provides an opportunity to recognise the extraordinary contribution Standard Chartered has made to Liverpool FC over the past 17 years.
“They have been an important part of our journey through an exceptional period in the club’s history, and we are delighted that Standard Chartered will remain part of the Liverpool FC family as a global partner from June 2027.
“As we prepare for this transition, we look forward to this new season and welcoming Turkish Airlines as our main club partner from June 2027.”
Ahmet Olmustur, Turkish Airlines CEO, said: “Liverpool Football Club is one of the world’s most recognised and respected football clubs, with an exceptional heritage and a truly global community of supporters.
“We are very pleased that Turkish Airlines will become the club’s main club partner and that our name will take its place on one of the most iconic shirts in world sport.
“As the airline that flies to more countries than any other, connecting people, cultures and continents is at the heart of who we are. This partnership brings together two global brands united by their international reach, commitment to excellence and ability to inspire millions of people around the world.
“The agreement also marks an important new chapter in Turkish Airlines’ long-standing support for global sport. We believe in the unique power of sport to transcend borders and bring communities together.
“As we begin this new chapter, we look forward to moving forward together with Liverpool FC and its supporters around the world.”
