At the start of 2021, Newcastle United terminated their £6.5m-a-year deal with Puma. After July 2021, the club signed a contract with British sportswear brand “Castore”. Newcastle United’s kit deal with Castore is said to be worth five million pounds a year.

| Yearly payments | £5 million |
| Total payment over 3 years | £15 million |

The Castore company in Liverpool became the sponsor of the product in July 2021. The total value of the contract is £15 million over 3 years. This deal marks the end of German sportswear brand Puma’s time as a supplier.
In addition, the deal will allow Castore to manage the club’s e-commerce business. So that includes improvements to the physical club and the online store, as well as increasing sales.

Newcastle United have signed a sponsorship deal with Chinese gambling company ‘Fun88’. The business is worth £6.5m a year. Furthermore, the contract will be renewed at the end of the 2021-2022 season.
