Juventus has extended its partnership with Cygames until 2027, continuing one of the club's longest-running commercial relationships and reinforcing its strategy of working with global entertainment brands to expand digital fan engagement.

Under the renewed agreement, Cygames' logo will remain on the back of the Juventus men's first-team shirt throughout the 2026/27 season, extending a collaboration that began in 2017.

While the agreement preserves one of the club's most recognisable sponsorship assets, the next phase of the partnership will place increasing emphasis on digital content, storytelling and fan engagement.

A Partnership That Has Evolved Beyond Shirt Sponsorship Juventus

Over nearly a decade, the Juventus–Cygames relationship has expanded beyond traditional sponsorship rights.

According to the club, the renewed agreement will continue to leverage Juventus' digital ecosystem and Juventus Creator Lab, with both organisations planning to develop new forms of content and storytelling for global audiences.

Cygames has established itself as one of Japan's leading entertainment companies through its portfolio spanning video games, animation, manga and digital media.

Juventus Continues to Expand Its Digital Ecosystem

The renewal also highlights the growing importance of Juventus' direct-to-consumer strategy. According to the club, its global digital ecosystem now reaches almost 200 million followers, with approximately 40% under the age of 24.

That audience has become one of Juventus' most valuable commercial assets, allowing partners to reach younger supporters through club-owned digital platforms, original content and creator-led productions.

The continued development of Juventus Creator Lab also signals the club's ambition to produce more proprietary content as part of its wider media strategy.

Executive Comments

Juventus Chief Business Officer Peter Silverstone described the renewal as a reflection of the trust built between both organisations over almost a decade.

"Partnerships of this longevity are rare. They are built on trust, shared ambition and a commitment to growing together."

Silverstone also highlighted the role of Juventus' digital ecosystem and Creator Lab in creating new engagement opportunities for Cygames across global markets.
