A new Leeds United official sleeve partner ahead of the new Premier League season.

Leeds United have announced that encrypted messaging and community platform KChat will be the club’s new Official Sleeve Partner for the 2026/27 Premier League season.

KChat will make its debut as the club’s new sleeve partner for the first match of the upcoming campaign when Leeds take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday, August 22.

The first appearance at Elland Road will come the following week, for the club’s first home game against Brentford on Sunday, August 30.

Leeds say the new partnership will be built on a shared belief between the two organisations that strong communities are created through genuine connection - whether it is with fans in the stand, online or somewhere else around the world.

Running throughout the 2026/27 campaign and beyond, the partnership will also see additional supporter initiatives that will be announced across the duration of the season.

KChat is a next-generation messaging platform that is based on the foundation where conversations stay private, communities can thrive.

Focused on secure communication, this relationship will represent a first for the organisation, collaborating with a Premier League club as it prepares for its upcoming public launch.

Jocelyn Austria, the General Manager at KChat said: “This partnership is an important milestone for KChat, as we prepare for our public launch and we are proud to take this journey with one of English football’s most historic clubs.

“Leeds United’s fans represent exactly what inspires our platform – people connected through a shared passion, meaningful conversation and a strong sense of community.”

Phil Hardman, Partnerships Director for Leeds United, added: “We are really pleased to welcome KChat as our Official Sleeve Partner for the 2026/27 campaign. As the club continues to grow both on and off the pitch, we are proud to partner with an innovative technology company that shares our commitment in bringing people together.

“We look forward to creating exciting experiences for our supporters in the seasons ahead.”
