## Source summary

FXC Intelligence reports that 85% of Premier League clubs have at least one sponsor connected to cross-border payments. Its 2026 review highlights Circle's Chelsea shirt sponsorship, new front-of-shirt deals for CMC Markets with Everton and Marex Group with Nottingham Forest, and continuing relationships involving Standard Chartered, PayPal, American Express, Monzo, Ebury, Ant International and Kraken.

## Why it matters

The concentration shows how payment, FX and stablecoin companies are using global football audiences for customer acquisition and brand positioning. It is a marketing-distribution signal, not evidence that a payment rail, corridor or settlement product has launched or gained users. The 85% figure reflects FXC Intelligence's classification; sponsorship fees, conversion, customer acquisition cost and payment volume are not disclosed.
