MI Fans, Get Ready! Nike Returns to IPL With a Major 2027 Partnership

Mumbai Indians have partnered with global sportswear giant Nike as their official kit supplier from the 2027 season, marking a significant collaboration for the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise and the sportswear brand’s return to the tournament.

The multi-year agreement will cover both the men’s and women’s teams, with Nike supplying match kits, training gear and apparel for players, coaches and support staff.

The partnership will also bring a new range of merchandise inspired by Mumbai’s vibrant culture, offering supporters fresh ways to connect with the franchise. New kit designs and jersey reveals are expected to be among the highlights as the team prepares for the 2027 season.

The association brings together one of cricket’s prominent franchise brands and a global name in sportswear. For Mumbai Indians, the deal offers an opportunity to refresh their on-field identity and expand their merchandise appeal, while Nike gets a high-profile platform to strengthen its presence in Indian cricket.

Nike’s association with the IPL also marks a return to the tournament after nearly two decades. The company previously supplied kits for the Deccan Chargers in 2008, during the league’s early years.

The new partnership aligns with Mumbai Indians’ emphasis on developing cricketing talent and building a wider sporting community around the franchise. The team has established a strong identity across men’s and women’s cricket, making the agreement relevant to both sides of its operations.

With the 2027 season still ahead, attention will now turn to the designs and merchandise emerging from the collaboration. The new collection is expected to combine Nike’s sportswear expertise with the character and energy associated with Mumbai.

The deal adds another prominent global brand to the IPL’s commercial landscape, underlining the league’s appeal as a platform for sportswear companies seeking to connect with India’s large cricket-following audience.
