Trainline today announced the renewal of its major partnership with Olympique Lyonnais for the upcoming season, with the option to extend for two further seasons (2026/2027 and 2027/2028).
As part of this partnership, the Trainline logo will appear on the front of Olympique Lyonnais players’ shorts during Ligue 1 matches, as well as on the back of training and warm-up shirts. The brand will also benefit from prominent visibility at Groupama Stadium and across the club’s digital platforms.
By extending this partnership with one of France’s most iconic football clubs, Trainline has an ideal platform from which to encourage supporters and travellers to choose the train for their journeys, reinforcing its commitment to promoting sustainable mobility.
Olympique Lyonnais is the perfect partner for Trainline, as the city holds a strategic position at the heart of Europe’s rail network. Located at the crossroads of major continental routes, Lyon’s accessibility has been significantly enhanced by the recent liberalisation of high-speed rail services, now operated by all the major train companies: SNCF, Trenitalia, and Renfe.
We’re excited to kick off the next chapter of our collaboration with Olympique Lyonnais – a club that truly embodies the spirit and passion of French football. Renewing our partnership reflects the strong team spirit we’ve built together, as well as our shared goal of championing more sustainable travel through the power of sport. This is a great opportunity to grow Trainline’s visibility across France and connect with even more fans – both on and off the pitch.
Jody Ford, CEO of Trainline
We are pleased to count on the commitment of our major partner Trainline for the 2025/26 season. This renewal marks a new stage in our collaboration, which began in February 2025. It demonstrates the trust and determination to continue the momentum we have created together. This collaboration also helps bring our supporters closer to a mode of travel that promotes virtuous mobility, especially for matches both in France and across Europe.
Michael Gerlinger, Managing Director of Olympique Lyonnais
