The Sydney Swans are proud to announce Nike as the club’s official apparel and footwear partner across its AFL, AFLW, VFL, QBE Sydney Swans Academy and ARA First Nations Academy teams.
As part of the partnership extension, the Nike Swoosh will unite the uniforms of the AFL and AFLW teams for the very first time.
The one club partnership was launched at Coogee Beach this morning, ahead of the 2026 AFL season opener against Carlton at the SCG, which is just 20 days away.
Nike has partnered with the club since 2017 and kitted out the AFL and Academy programs since 2020.
Sydney Swans CEO Matthew Pavlich said he was proud to continue the partnership with Nike.
“We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with Nike to include our AFLW and ARA First Nations Academy teams for season 2026 and beyond,” Pavlich said.
“Nike have been a trusted partner of the club for many years now, with a strong value alignment including a shared passion for sport and the community.
“Having all our teams wearing the same Nike design is significant in our club’s history, and it’s fantastic to have all of our programs associated with such an iconic brand.”
Sandra Hore, VP/GM Nike Pacific said she was delighted that the Nike partnership was expanded across all Sydney Swans teams.
“Nike’s mission is to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world. The one club partnership with the Sydney Swans signals our continued support for the club across all levels,” Hore said.
“We are particularly proud to see that commitment extend to the AFLW and ARA First Nations Academy in 2026.
“We are excited for the AFL season kick off and look forward to seeing all Sydney Swans players on field, united with the Nike Swoosh as the year progresses.”
