Deel (CEO: Alex Bouaziz), the all-in-one HR and payroll platform for global teams, has announced a multi-year agreement with Arsenal Football Club, becoming the club's 'Official Sleeve Partner' from the 2026/27 season.
Starting in the 2026/27 season, the Deel logo will be featured on the left sleeve of Arsenal's home, away, and third kits. This makes Deel the second global brand to have its logo on the sleeve of the world-renowned football club's kit.
This agreement builds on the 'Official HR Platform Partnership' announced in December 2025, further strengthening the relationship between the two companies.
To coincide with this announcement, a new film titled 'Patchmaker' has been released. The film features Arsenal's Viktor Gyökeres and club legend Patrick Vieira. Set in an artisan's workshop applying the finishing touches to the new kit's sleeve, the film portrays a dedication to detail and craftsmanship.
Furthermore, ahead of the new home kit launch scheduled for May 15, 2026, Arsenal has given supporters a sneak peek of the sleeve design that will feature the Deel logo throughout the upcoming season.
■Comment from Juliet Slot, Arsenal's Chief Commercial Officer (CCO)
The Arsenal sleeve is one of the most high-profile sponsorship assets in world football. We are thrilled to welcome Deel, who became our partner earlier this year, to this space. Through the deepening of our partnership, Deel will play a crucial role in supporting the club's operations. All our partnerships are directly linked to our long-term strategy of aiming for major titles while maintaining financial sustainability.
■Comment from Alex Bouaziz, Co-founder and CEO of Deel
When we announced our partnership with Arsenal last year, we said it was just the beginning. Today, Arsenal and Deel are already working closely together, and in the coming months, Deel's platform will be implemented across the entire club's employee and HR operations. Having the Deel logo on one of the most iconic kits in the world is a great source of pride for us and symbolizes a partnership based on a shared vision of global growth. We are very much looking forward to the next season and our future endeavors.
Currently, Deel supports over 40,000 companies and more than 1.5 million workers worldwide. In October 2025, the company conducted a Series E funding round, reaching a valuation of $17.3 billion, further solidifying its position as one of the world's leading payroll and HR platform companies.
