ADNOC and the UAE Pro League renewed their partnership for another three seasons
PARTNER CONTENT: The ADNOC Pro League is here to stay, with ADNOC and the UAE Pro League extending their title partnership for another three seasons, keeping the league’s name in place through to 2029.
The announcement was made during a big football moment too, with Al Ain wrapping up their final match of the season against Dibba at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium and lifting the 2025–26 league title in front of fans.
It’s a continuation of a partnership that first kicked off ahead of the 2021–22 season, when the league was officially rebranded as the ADNOC Pro League.
Since then, it’s become a familiar part of UAE football culture; not just in branding, but in how the league connects with fans and communities.
Football brings people together, and through this extension, ADNOC is continuing to back the game at every level, from the professional league right down to grassroots development and youth programmes.

On the league side, officials are equally clear as having a long-term partner like ADNOC helps keep pushing the game forward – whether that’s improving the fan experience, growing club engagement, or making matchdays feel bigger and more connected to the community.
The next phase of the partnership is expected to lean even more into that fan-first approach with more community activations, more chances for young players to get involved, and more initiatives designed to bring football closer to everyday life across the UAE.
ADNOC has also been active across the UAE’s wider sporting scene, backing major events like the ADNOC Abu Dhabi Marathon and the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, showing how deeply sport fits into its broader community strategy.
For fans, the takeaway is simple: the ADNOC Pro League isn’t going anywhere. The focus now is on making the game bigger, more exciting, and more closely connected to the people who follow it every week.
