Jet2 has been named the Principal Club Partner of the Leigh Leopards for the 2025 Betfred Super League season.
Jet2, comprising the UK’s third-largest airline, Jet2.com, and the UK’s leading tour operator, Jet2holidays, will proudly showcase its iconic logo on the Leigh Leopards’ home, away, and Magic Weekend kits.
This partnership presents a valuable opportunity for Jet2 to strengthen its connections with families and customers throughout the North West and beyond. With the Super League enjoying record viewership and attendance last season, the collaboration is set to enhance Jet2’s community presence and visibility.
Employing over 3,000 staff across the region, including at Manchester and Liverpool John Lennon airports, Jet2.com’s Manchester Hangar, and Jet2’s Training Centre, the company plays a significant role in the local economy. Additionally, Jet2 serves millions of holidaymakers annually, making this partnership a prime way to foster further brand recognition, particularly within the family demographic. More exciting sponsorship initiatives between Jet2 and the Leigh Leopards will be revealed soon.
This announcement builds on Jet2’s earlier 2025 collaboration with Leigh Leopards, where the airline was named the team’s Travel Partner. As part of this agreement, Jet2 will provide travel for the Leopards’ June fixture against the Catalans Dragons, with fans also able to book flights with the award-winning airline.
Jet2 has earned an outstanding reputation for its exceptional customer service, earning the coveted Which? Travel Brand of the Year award for three consecutive years. Both Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have also been recognized as Which? Recommended Providers for several years, cementing their standing as leaders in the travel industry.
Known for its VIP customer service, Jet2 ensures a smooth travel experience with convenient flight times and a generous 22kg baggage allowance for flight-only bookings with Jet2.com.
Leigh Leopards owner Derek Beaumont said: “This is a landmark sponsorship, not only for the club but the sport of Rugby League, to be able to attract a brand of the significance of Jet2 that is not widely known in the sports sponsorship environment. It is a great fit for our family values and the fun friendly feel we create in the Leopards Den. We have worked really hard on our brand visibility through our rebrand, marketing and match-day experience, creating significant media attention with a fantastic story of rising from the Championship to a Challenge Cup winning and Super League semi-finalist team playing an entertaining brand of Rugby League.”
He added: “It is fantastic that this hard work and success has attracted such a significant market leading brand to the club and I am immensely proud to see the Jet2 logo on our playing kits. As well as travelling with Jet2 for our fixture against Catalans we will travel with them for our warm weather camp in Lanzarote and I am sure that our loyal Famileigh will look to support the trust placed in our club by Jet2 by showing their loyalty when choosing their tour operator or airline. I am really looking forward to growing our relationship throughout the year with various activations to enhance our partnership.”
Gavin Forth, Marketing and Digital Director at Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “This partnership is a great way to build even more awareness of our award-winning company, whilst aligning ourselves with a brand that shares our family friendly values. We are very proud to be displaying our logo on the Leigh Leopards playing kits and we look forward to running exciting activations to really capitalise on this partnership.”
