The Premier League and global sportswear manufacturing giants, PUMA, have announced their official partnership which will begin from the summer of 2025 and see the German kit makers become the Official Ball Supplier of the English top flight.
Through this partnership, PUMA will also support across multiple initiatives, from community-based football programs that nurture grassroots talent to high-impact marketing campaigns and events like the Premier League Summer Series, which will be hosted in the United States in July.
“We are delighted to be welcoming PUMA as the Official Ball Supplier of the Premier League,“ Chief Executive of the Premier League, Richard Masters said. “PUMA has a proud history of involvement in football over many years and we look forward to seeing the new ball used at all our matches from this summer onwards.”

On his part, PUMA CEO Arne Freundt said, “The agreement with the Premier League, the most-watched football league in the world, is an important step in PUMA’s brand elevation strategy.”
Freundt continued, “We look forward to bringing our performance technology to the forefront of the game and connecting with the many fans worldwide. With PUMA’s ball at the centre of attention during every match in this incredible league, we will create unforgettable moments for players and fans alike.”
