UEFA Champions League match ball supplier transition

Overview

Adidas has unveiled the official match balls for the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Women's Champions League. The men's tournament ball features a white base with a metallic surface and a fog effect, while the women's ball utilizes a ‘Ring of Light’ concept with purple, gold, and orange graphics.

Following the conclusion of the Adidas partnership at the end of the 2026-27 season, Nike is set to become the official match ball supplier starting in the 2027-28 season. The new deal with Nike is reported to be worth approximately $45 million annually. While there was speculation regarding design changes due to Adidas trademarks, reports indicate the iconic ‘Starball’ design will likely be maintained.
