The roar of the crowd and the smell of anticipation: British luxury fashion house Burberry captures the unmistakable atmosphere of a football game day in its fall 2026 campaign ‘A Good Sport’.
The campaign takes the viewer’s perspective. It celebrates the energy of football fans with a cast of well-known faces from film, television, sports and fashion.
“Burberry has been connecting football fans across generations for decades,” said Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee. “It’s only right that we celebrate this this summer.”
To the soundtrack of Bloc Party’s ‘Banquet’, Jason Sudeikis cheers in the stands alongside friend of the house Romeo Beckham and actor Bright. Mika Hashizume and Jodie Turner-Smith are captured in the pre-match hustle and bustle, while Lucy Punch queues at a modest burger cart. Stephen Graham takes on his most intimidating role yet as coach of a children’s Sunday league. Models Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Bebe Parnell, George Anderson, He Cong, Neelam Gill and Shivaruby provide support from the sidelines. The team is completed by English football players Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze and Leah Williamson as well as international stars Naomi Girma and Son Heung-min.
Founder Thomas Burberry’s passion for outdoor activities and belief in the unifying power of sport continue to shape the brand to this day. The campaign features signature trench coats, parkas and Harrington jackets. These emerged from functionality and were enhanced by design and craftsmanship. They are designed with a sense of lightness for traveling domestically and internationally. The Burberry House Check adorns polo shirts and scarves suitable for game day, while the curved Primrose bag makes its debut alongside the new Knight Runner sneaker.
“This brand has been a real constant for football fans over the years,” continued Lee. “There is a certain attitude to being a good athlete that is very British and very Burberry.”
Important styles
Deeply rooted in British culture and everyday life, sport has long been part of Burberry’s history. From the start, founder Thomas Burberry designed with an understanding of outdoor living, where practicality and performance were key.
Today’s signature styles offer both die-hards and fair-weather fans protection from the elements. Iconic raincoats are cut into bold new silhouettes, including the Swarby Trench in lightweight tropical gabardine and the Tillydrine Trench in fluid silk, shaped with a gathered, flared hem.
Iconic terrace wear is enlivened with the Burberry check in traditional hues. This can be found on buttoned shirts, cashmere scarves and as a trim on polos, Harrington jackets and the Lancaster Parka.
When it comes to bags, fan favorites are being reissued in a new edition made of coated House Check canvas. A staple of Burberry collections, the checked accessory was created in 1967 when a shopper in a Paris store used the lining of a coat to wrap luggage. New shapes include the curved Primrose bag and the archive-inspired pocket bag. Their design dates back to the 1980s, the same decade in which the Knight stamp made its debut.
Practical hooded styles and overshirts in the seasonal Madras check maintain a lightweight feel for layering between seasons. Accents of supple leather can be found on the Mayfair Trench Coat, Bloomsbury Harrington Jacket and Westley Workwear Jacket.
The Sloane suit is tailored for both the boardroom and the dugout. The single-breasted silhouette has a classic fit made from British wool, woven with textured pinstripes and styled with a checked silk tie.
