Everton Football Club has confirmed Christopher Ward as its first-ever official training kit partner.
The new multi-year agreement marks the latest evolution in the club’s relationship with Christopher Ward, which began as official global timing partner and has continued to grow through its role as Everton’s official shirt sleeve partner, founding partner of Hill Dickinson Stadium, and an ongoing supporter of Everton Women and Everton in the Community.
As official training kit partner, the brand will become part of Everton’s training ground environment, with its branding appearing on Men’s First Team and Women’s First Team training wear from the 2026/27 season.
From the 2027/28 season, Christopher Ward branding will extend across Under-21s, Under-18s and Academy training kit, while continuing on Men’s and Women’s First Team training wear.
Andrew Middleton, president of business operations at Everton Football Club, said: “Christopher Ward has been a bold, innovative and committed partner to Everton, and we are delighted to see that relationship continue to grow through this landmark agreement.
“Becoming our first-ever Official Training Kit Partner is a significant step. It not only reflects the strength of the partnership, but places Christopher Ward directly within the environment where our teams prepare, develop and strive for excellence every day, while also providing valuable global exposure through training and matchday activity.
“From their role as a founding partner of Hill Dickinson Stadium, to the creation of 53° North and their support for Everton Women and Everton in the Community, Christopher Ward has consistently shown a genuine understanding of this club, our supporters and our ambitions for the future."
Mike France, chief executive and co-founder of Christopher Ward, added: “We believe that excellence is built on the smallest details - whether in the precision of a mechanical watch or the marginal gains that define elite football.
“Becoming Everton’s first-ever Training Kit Partner feels like a natural next step in our journey together. It builds on our presence both on and off matchday by embedding us even further into the club - in the daily environment where performance is really shaped, behind the scenes on the training ground.
“That’s something we recognise deeply in watchmaking: the discipline, precision and constant refinement that sits beneath the surface. There’s a genuine alignment between our worlds, built on timing and a relentless drive to improve.”
