Mumbai Indians has announced a multi-year partnership with Nike, naming the sportswear brand its official kit partner for both the men's and women's teams in India, starting with the 2027 season.

Under the partnership, Nike will provide match kits, training apparel and sportswear for players, coaches and technical staff. The association will also extend to products and storytelling linked to Mumbai's sporting and cultural identity.

“Cricket is woven into the heartbeat of India, and few teams capture its energy like Mumbai Indians,” says Tarundeep Singh, General Manager, Nike India. “The club embodies the ambition and belief that make sport so powerful. That's exactly what drew Nike to this partnership, which represents our effort to serve athletes, celebrate the game and help inspire the next generation.”

The partnership marks Nike's continued investment in cricket in India. Both brands said they aim to connect sport and culture, while engaging with fans through team merchandise and other apparel inspired by Mumbai.

"Mumbai Indians have always been about more than cricket,” says Devang Bhimjyani, head, Reliance Sports. “We are one family- our players, our Paltan - built on nurturing talent, backing it fearlessly and playing for a city that never stops. Nike shares our belief in athletes and in the power of sport to inspire. Together, we see an opportunity to connect cricket and culture, inspire the next generation, and take the spirit of MI and Mumbai to fans around the world."

Players and staff will begin wearing Nike team apparel this month. The men's and women's teams are expected to unveil their new kits ahead of their respective 2027 seasons. Fans will also be able to access additional apparel inspired by the team and the city.

“Mumbai Indians backed me and gave me the opportunity to express myself on the big stage. Nike has been part of my journey too, so bringing these two families together feels personal,” says Tilak Varma, Nike athlete and member of the Mumbai Indians men's team. “Wearing the MI colors with the Nike Swoosh will remind me of how far I’ve come - and how much more I want to achieve. Somewhere, there’s a kid in the nets dreaming of playing in blue and gold. I want them to see us and think, ‘That could be me."
