Kick replaces boiler and air-conditioning manufacturer Boxt, which became the Merseyside club’s first sleeve sponsor in two years last season.
The online platform will be designated as Everton’s official sleeve partner and official streaming partner.
Kick’s branding will feature across Everton’s digital spaces, as well as at Goodison Park, Walton Hall Park (women’s stadium), and the Finch Farm training complex.
The two parties will also activate the partnership through fan engagement initiatives on matchdays.
Kick recently agreed to exclusive co-title sponsorship deals with the esports teams of the Sauber and Alfa Romeo Formula 1 outfits.
Richard Kenyon, Everton’s chief commercial and communications officer, said: “Working with Kick provides us with some fantastic opportunities to reach and engage with new audiences over the course of the coming season and we already have some exciting plans for matchday experiences, starting this week with our fixture against Sporting CP.
“We look forward to working with Kick and presenting new opportunities for our supporters while providing valuable global exposure for Kick as it continues its impressive growth.”
