Chelsea had gone three years without a front-of-shirt sponsor for an entire season. In the 2023–24 campaign, Infinite Athlete became the club’s partner, joining only in September and signing a one-season deal.
DAMAC Properties became a sponsor at the end of the 2024–25 campaign. Last season, artificial intelligence company IFS was announced as the front-of-shirt sponsor only in February, until the end of the campaign.
