Wrexham AFC has agreed a new partnership with United Airlines, which sees the US airline become the club’s official front-of-shirt sponsor.


The deal, which starts from the beginning of the 2023/24 season, will incorporate both the men’s and women’s first teams.

As part of the agreement with Wrexham AFC, which was recently promoted to the English Football League, the United Airlines name and logo will emblazon the front of the club’s home, away and third shirts.

Co-chairmen Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds revealed the new 2023/24 home shirt and new United Airlines sponsorship in a new video posted on social media yesterday.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the Co-Chairman of Wrexham AFC, said, “We seek out sponsors that match the spirit of both Wrexham Association Football Club and the people of Wrexham.

“We could think of no better sponsor for the next phase of our quest than United Airlines. The team, town and fans around the world are united as never before and United Airlines is committed to elevating our story and journey.”

This summer, Wrexham AFC will travel across the Atlantic on United flights for its Wrexham AFC American tour – the first time in the club’s history that the first team squad will travel to the United States.

Josh Earnest, Chief Communications Officer for United Airlines, added, “The story of Wrexham AFC and their fans represents the best of what professional sports has to offer.

“The passion and perseverance of this team on the rise has captured the imagination of people in the U.S. and around the world. When the Wrexham AFC players deliver even more heart-pumping moments this season, we couldn’t be prouder that United Airlines will be written across their chests.

“We’re also excited to partner with the team and their co-chairmen across social media and on their hit TV show as the incredible story of this team and its loyal fans continues to unfold.”
