FC Barcelona has agreed a new sponsorship deal with Chinese appliance giant Midea, which will take over as the club’s sleeve sponsor from the 2026-27 season.
FC Barcelona to Replace Ambilight with Midea as Sleeve Sponsor from 2026-27
The agreement, expected to run for five years, will see Midea feature on Barça’s first-team shirts and training kits, replacing Ambilight, the Philips-owned brand currently occupying the slot.
The deal is reportedly worth around €12 million per season. Midea is no stranger to football sponsorship, having partnered with Manchester City since 2020 and being the main sponsor of Sevilla since 2024.
We have added the Midea logo to our early mock-up of the Barça 2026-27 home kit, giving an impression of how the Midea branding will look on the kits. In contrast to the current, very small and broad Ambilight TV logo, the Midea logo better fits the space (but not as good as square sponsors, which are optimal for the sleeve sponsor position).

Nike and Kids of Immigrants Goalkeeper Jersey + Total 90 Shoes Released
Nike and streetwear label Kids of Immigrants have officially unveiled a comprehensive collaborative capsule collection. This wider release expands significantly upon the retro football aesthetic, offering a full range of apparel, accessories, and highly unique modified footwear.
The undeniable centerpiece of the expanded collection is the introduction of two bespoke slip-on mules, which draw heavy inspiration from the iconic Nike Total 90 football boot. The mules arrive in two distinct colorways: a muted beige and olive green iteration featuring a speckled sole, alongside a darker, glossy black and rich brown patent leather version. Both pairs are unified by a striking red and yellow outlined Swoosh on the midfoot and tongue, matching the vibrant accents found on the collection's primary jersey.
Rounding out the collaborative effort is a selection of matching apparel and accessories designed to complete the capsule. The standout piece of these other items is a special 1990s keeper kit.
