The campaign recognises the unique commitment it takes for fans to follow the league from across the Atlantic, and how that same loyalty extends to their favourite brands. That’s why Barclays is committed to giving them more, helping fans turn everyday spending into more of the moments they love.

Added Matt MacDonald, Chief Creative Officer of VCCP US, “Being a Premier League fan in the US takes real dedication. For our first work with Barclays, we wanted to celebrate what it means to show up for your club, no matter what time or where the game is on, and how Barclays helps turn that loyalty into something more. We’re lucky for great client partners who shared our vision to make an authentic tribute to US fans and hope those fans see a part of themselves in the work too.”

Directed by Tom Day, the campaign will run through the season until May 30 2027, across broadcast, digital and social.
