Hublot, the Swiss luxury watch brand, has today renewed its sponsorship deal with English soccer's top-tier Premier League for this season.
As part of the one-year extension, Hublot will continue to serve as the official timekeeper of the league.
The brand first partnered with the English top-flight last year, replacing TAG Heuer, another Swiss watch brand owned by the LVMH corporation.
TAG Heuer had been the league’s timekeeping partner since 2016.
Hublot will again provide timing at every match, both pitchside and on TV screens through all broadcast partners.
In addition, its logo will continue to appear alongside the on-screen graphic showing the match time and score, throughout the season, which got underway last weekend.

Last year, the brand signed up as a sponsor of the 2021 Women’s Euros in England (subsequently postponed to 2022 because of the coronavirus pandemic).
The company additionally became a main partner of the Uefa Women's Champions League, Uefa Women's Under-19 and Under-17 Championships and the Uefa Women's Futsal Euros.
