Kits Supplier: Adidas / Sponsor: Fly Emirates
For the 2025–26 season, Real Madrid's kits are once again produced by Adidas, with Emirates serving as the principal shirt sponsor and HP featured on the sleeve. The home kit stays faithful to the club's traditional identity, with an all-white shirt and shorts. While maintaining its classic look, the design incorporates subtle metallic details and accents in yellow, grey, and black, echoing elements from the 2009–10 and 2015–16 editions. The home strip was first unveiled in June 2025.
The away kit adopts a darker, modern approach, being presented entirely in deep navy blue. Inspired by the contemporary aesthetics of the renovated Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the kit uses clean, minimal detailing, offering a contrast to the lighter tones of the home strip.
The third kit provides a brighter alternative, being released in a vivid blue shade with white applications. It carries the adidas Originals trefoil logo, further distinguishing it from the other outfield kits. As a symbolic tribute, the inside of the collar bears the words of Juanito, the legendary forward whose phrase “90 minutes at the Bernabéu is a very long time” remains one of the most iconic in the club's history.
In addition to the outfield designs, several goalkeeper kits were introduced for the campaign. The first-choice goalkeeper kit is blue with white detailing, the second option is light green with black accents, and the third strip is dark grey with white trim. Together, these goalkeeper kits provide both vibrant and classic variations, complementing the club's three main outfield designs.
