In a move that underscores the incredible momentum and global appeal of the club, Knox Hydrate branding will proudly feature on the front of all matchday shirts for the Men's first team, Newcastle United Women, and the Academy teams from the start of the 2026-27 season.
The agreement marks a new milestone for both organisations, following the landmark announcement that Knox Hydrate has become the club's first-ever training ground naming rights partner, with Darsley Park officially becoming 'The Knox' from July 1.
Driven by Shared Ambition
This deeply integrated, multi-year partnership represents a massive commercial milestone for Newcastle United as the club continues its relentless march toward the pinnacle of domestic and European football.
Commenting on the partnership, Newcastle United CEO David Hopkinson said: "Our relationship with Knox Hydrate has absolutely flourished, and we are ecstatic to announce them as our principal front-of-shirt partner for the next three years. This is a transformative deal for Newcastle United.
"Knox is an explosive, innovative brand that perfectly matches our ambition and shares our long-term vision for global success. To have them playing such an integral, visible role across our Men's, Women's, and Academy teams is a massive statement. Together, we are ready to supercharge our growth both on and off the pitch, delivering incredible experiences for our fans worldwide."
Knox Hydrate CEO, John Schaefer, added: "We are absolutely thrilled to take our partnership with Newcastle United to the ultimate level. The energy, passion, and trajectory of this club mirror our own relentless drive to disrupt the global hydration market. Becoming the front-of-shirt partner for the next three years, alongside our commitment to 'The Knox' training centre, allows us to fully embed ourselves in the fabric of this historic club and its unbelievable fanbase.
"We aren't just putting our name on a shirt; we are investing in a legacy that will inspire generations. We can't wait to see the teams run out with Knox on their chests, and we look forward to achieving great things together over the next three seasons."

Supporters who have purchased the 2026/27 home shirt will be given an opportunity to get the Knox Hydrate logo applied. Home shirts with the Knox logo will also be retailed later in the season, whist upcoming away and third shirts will include the Knox logo. Further details will follow in due course.
