The Premier League has been proud to support The Royal British Legion since 2012, making a significant contribution to raising much-needed funds to help people in the Armed Forces community.

During Premier League matches over the weekends of 4-6 November and 11-12 November 2023 ahead of Remembrance weekend, players and match officials wore special-edition shirts embroidered with a poppy.

The players' match-worn were signed and made available to purchase in an auction throughout November and December, with the funds raised going to The Royal British Legion.

The auctioning of these shirts has helped to raised more than £4million in total for the charity. The auctions in 2022 were the most successful yet, with about £700,000 raised.

Your support for the shirt auction is as vital as ever.

The Armed Forces community make unique sacrifices and contributions and the Royal British Legion supports them and their families both during and after their service.

Every donation to the Poppy Appeal helps the Royal British Legion continue to provide vital support to veterans, serving personnel and their families, through such difficulties as homelessness, unemployment and poor mental health.
