About Carlsberg x Liverpool FC Partnership

Carlsberg and Liverpool FC share one of the most iconic partnerships in football, dating back to 1992 — the same year the Premier League was founded. What began as a sponsorship soon became part of football heritage, with Carlsberg appearing on Liverpool’s jersey during some of the club’s most historic triumphs, including the 2001 treble and the unforgettable 2005 Champions League victory.

Many of Liverpool’s greatest legends, including Steven Gerrard, made their debut wearing the Carlsberg logo—cementing the brand as part of the club’s DNA. Over three decades later, the partnership continues stronger than ever, recently extended until 2034, making it one of the longest-running collaborations in world football.

Built on shared passion, respect, and a commitment to bringing fans closer to the game, the Carlsberg–Liverpool FC partnership remains a true symbol of football heritage.
