Everton has confirmed Christopher Ward as its first official training kit partner.
The multi-year agreement marks an evolution from previous deals as global timing partner and shirt sleeve sponsor, as well as ongoing support for Everton Women and Everton in the Community.
The mechanical watchmaker’s branding will appear on men’s and women’s training wear from the 2026-27 season and also deliver significant visibility across Everton’s social and matchday platforms, including LED advertising, media backdrops and in-stadium branding at Hill Dickinson Stadium and Goodison Park – home to the men’s and women’s teams respectively.
From the 2027-28 season, Christopher Ward branding will extend across Under-21s, Under-18s and Academy training kit.
The agreement follows last season’s opening of premium watch showroom 53° North at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
“Christopher Ward has been a bold, innovative and committed partner to Everton, and we are delighted to see that relationship continue to grow through this landmark agreement,” said Andrew Middleton, president of business operations at Everton.
“We look forward to continuing to work closely with Mike France and the Christopher Ward team as we build on this partnership and explore new opportunities together during this exciting next chapter for the club.”
As part of its wider partnership with Everton, Christopher Ward has already created three exclusive Everton-inspired timepieces celebrating the club’s heritage and connection with supporters: The Dixie Dean, a 60-piece limited edition honouring one of football’s greatest goalscorers; The Goodison, featuring a caseback made from Goodison Park’s iconic 1930s turnstiles; and The Goodison 3.1, commemorating one of the club’s most famous victories.
Christopher Ward CEO France said: “We believe that excellence is built on the smallest details – whether in the precision of a mechanical watch or the marginal gains that define elite football.
“That’s something we recognise deeply in watchmaking: the discipline, precision and constant refinement that sits beneath the surface. There’s a genuine alignment between our worlds, built on timing and a relentless drive to improve.”
