FedEx was expected to be elevated to the Champions League having been a partner of the Europa League for the past six years.

It already has a four-year deal for Uefa national team competitions, signed in 2019, which includes competitions including the delayed Euro 2020, to be held across the continent in June and July of this year, and the Nations League finals.

Uefa and Team Marketing, the governing body’s agency partner for club competitions, have been concluding sponsorship deals for the cycle starting with the 2021-22 season, and FedEx joins Dutch brewing giant Heineken, soft drinks and snack foods giant PepsiCo and international credit card provider Mastercard as confirmed partners of the Champions League.
