Newcastle Eagles have officially announced that Newcastle College continue as their men’s team’s main sponsor for the 2025/26 season.

The club’s partnership with the college and its higher education arm, Newcastle College University Centre, was celebrated on its sixth anniversary earlier this year with both staff and students regular visitors to the Vertu Arena on Scotwsood Road where the two organisations are neighbours.

Now in a seventh year, the college and its University Centre both take pride of place on the front of the Eagles men’s jerseys and shooting shirts for Super League Basketball (SLB) and European North Basketball League (ENBL) this season.

Alan Fenton, Deputy Principal of Newcastle College and Newcastle College University Centre said: “We’re incredibly proud to continue our longstanding partnership with the Newcastle Eagles and to see our University Centre’s name displayed on the front of their jersey once again.

“Now in our seventh year together, this partnership goes far beyond sponsorship – it represents a shared commitment to empowering students through the transformative power of education and sport. Together, we’re opening doors for young people to thrive both in the classroom and on the court.

“The Eagles had a fantastic season last year, and we’re looking forward to supporting them through another exciting season. We wish the team the very best of luck throughout the season ahead.”
