The Premier League is proud to support LGBTQ+ inclusion, representation and diversity in all areas of football.

The Premier League and clubs have a longstanding commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ communities, and carry out year-round work to embed equality, diversity and inclusion in everything they do.

“Premier League With Pride demonstrates our ongoing support for the LGBTQ+ community, and our commitment to ensuring that football is for everyone and inclusivity is embedded across all areas of the game. 

“I am pleased that progress has been made in recent years and we will maintain our work with clubs to ensure this continues. This includes taking action against discrimination both in stadiums and online, as well as celebrating the LGBTQ+ community.“

Richard Masters, Premier League Chief Executive

Premier League x Gay Times

To mark the launch of the initiative, the Premier League has teamed up with Europe’s longest running LGBTQ+ publication, Gay Times to speak with twenty different football fans from the LGBTQ+ community.   

From all corners of the country, these twenty fans reflect a great range of football fandom and identities – each connected by their love for football and their unwavering identities.
