Nike is the main kit supplier with six teams. That is one less than last season and at least three times more than any other brand currently has. Like last season, Galatasaray, Gaziantep, Hatayspor and Kayserispor wear the American brand. Promoted side Ümraniyespor does as well, while Nike added Antalyaspor as new partner. Altay and Çaykur Rizespor got relegated while wearing Nike last season and Giresunspor switched to Diadora.

There are also two car rental firms active as shirt sponsor. Avis sponsors Fenerbahçe, while Sixt sponsors Galatasaray.

15 clubs have one or two sleeve sponsors
So far 15 clubs have at least one sleeve sponsor. Contrary to other leagues, several Süper Lig teams have two sleeve sponsors.

Airline Corendon and insurance company HDI Sigorta both partner with two teams as sleeve sponsor.
Fenerbahçe is the only team with a gambling company on their sleeves as sponsor. Although all teams play with the league logo on their sleeves that promotes a gambling company, since the league is called the Spor Toto Süper Lig for sponsorship reasons.

Although various companies pay for this branding, four companies sponsor multiple teams. More than half of the teams has Aksa, a power generation company, on the back of their jersey.
Cryptocurrency platform Bitexen, already a shirt sponsor of four teams, can be found on several socks. While betting firm Nesine.com and car rental company RentGo also sponsor multiple teams.
