Leeds United are proud to announce a new partnership with North Defence, who will become the Official Defence Partner of the club for the 2026/27 Premier League season.
North Defence is a high-quality military vehicle manufacturer, specialising in the supply of light mobility vehicles. With roots in frontline service and rapid-response engineering, the organisation combines real military experience with agile manufacturing and advanced technology to deliver vehicles built for modern defence needs.
As part of the new agreement, North Defence branding will be featured prominently around Elland Road on home matchdays, including on the big screen and LED boards, ensuring visibility to all supporters – home and away – visiting the stadium.
North Defence have a real understanding of operational challenges which shapes everything they produce, whilst also creating the best work environment possible to drive success. Their foundations are rooted in integrity and a strong work ethic, aligning closely with Leeds United.
Oliver North, Founder of North Defence, said: “It’s a genuine pleasure to partner with the club that I’ve supported and cheered on at Elland Road since the mid-nineties. Many of our team of tradespeople, engineers and office workers have also been supporting Leeds through the highs and lows of the past three decades, so it’s personal to many of us.
“Under Leeds’ ownership, it is so clear to see their ambition and desire to partner with global brands whilst honouring and supporting local companies contributing locally too – especially through manufacturing – which many in Yorkshire see as a backbone for providing jobs and skills.
“The partnership is therefore a perfect one, and we look forward to marching on together into the new season.”
Phil Hardman, Partnerships Director at Leeds United Football Club, added: “We are excited to welcome North Defence on board as an Official Partner for the upcoming 2026/27 Premier League campaign, having previously worked with us as a Bronze Business Partner during the last season.
“It will be great to continue strengthening our relationship with everyone at North Defence, and we look forward to supporting them and helping them to build their brand where possible over the next year.”
