Army: Premier League

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much the British Army has spent on sponsorship of Premier League Football in 2025-26 financial year.

Answer

Whilst the financial aspects of the sponsorship of Premier League football on Sky Television are commercial in confidence, sponsorship of Premier League football by the Army is part of a wider Army Recruiting campaign.
