2026-08-28 19:13:27Chelsea Football Club today announces a landmark partnership with Circle
Internet Group, Inc, one of the world’s leading internet financial platform
companies. The new partnership sees Circle become a Principal Partner and our
official front-of-shirt partner beginning with the 2026/27 season.
The partnership comes at a pivotal moment for the world. Stablecoins are
moving from early adoption toward the mainstream, creating an unprecedented
opportunity to make money as open, accessible, and useful as the internet
itself.
By reducing the cost and friction of moving value, they can broaden
participation in the global economy and unlock greater opportunity for people
everywhere. Bringing USDC to one of sport’s biggest global stages reflects
the scale and ambition of this opportunity.
Founded in 2013, Circle is a pioneer in digital assets and is helping build
the financial system for the internet. At its centre is USDC, the world’s
leading regulated stablecoin. USDC is a trusted digital dollar that enables
people and businesses to move money globally with internet speed and 24/7
availability.
In the 2026/27 season, Circle and USDC brands will appear on the front of
Chelsea's Men's, Women's and Academy shirts, featuring for the first time at
Chelsea FC men’s first Premier League home game of the season this Sunday
against Brighton.
Jeremy Allaire, Co-Founder and CEO, Circle: 'We built USDC on the belief that
money should work seamlessly for everyone everywhere, the way the internet
does. Partnering with Chelsea connects us with a global sports community
built on that exact same borderless vision.
Kash Razzaghi, Chief Commercial Officer, Circle: 'This partnership represents
a shared belief in where the world is headed. Chelsea connects hundreds of
millions of people across every border, and USDC is digital money that moves
across those same borders. USDC on the iconic Chelsea shirt shows the world
what the future of global finance looks like: open, borderless, and built for
everyone.
Jason Gannon, President, Chelsea FC: 'This partnership with Circle positions
Chelsea at the forefront of football’s digital evolution. We are two
organisations fixated by the future and are relentlessly innovating to be in
the best position possible for the long-term. We look forward to beginning
our journey with Circle – to introduce Circle to the Chelsea family and
continue enhancing how we operate'
Aki Mandhar, CEO, Chelsea FC Women: ‘We are excited to introduce Circle and
USDC to the Chelsea Women family for our inaugural season at Stamford Bridge.
Forging and facilitating connections between people is what Chelsea Women and
Circle do best and we look forward to bringing USDC to the CFCW fanbase and
beyond.’
Todd Kline, President of Commercial, Chelsea FC: ‘Circle is changing how
money moves around the world, and we’re changing what it means to be a
global football club. That’s real alignment, not just in values but in our
shared ambition to lead on a global stage. This is more than a logo on a
shirt, it represents a partner who’s building something. We’re excited to
see what we can build together.’
