Jeff Bezos Acquires Stake in Liverpool Soccer Team
Jeff Bezos has become a part-owner of the Liverpool soccer team through an investor group's deal. Fenway Sports Group, the current owner since 2010, will retain majority control of the club.
New York, NY, August 14, 2026 —
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has entered into an agreement to become a part-owner of the renowned Liverpool Football Club.
The investment comes through an investor group that has struck a deal for a stake in the English Premier League club. While Bezos will now hold a portion of ownership, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the current custodians of the club since 2010, will maintain majority control.
Details regarding the specific financial terms of the deal or the exact percentage of ownership acquired by Bezos through this investor group were not immediately available. The nature of his involvement beyond partial ownership has also not been disclosed.
FSG acquired Liverpool in 2010. Since then, the club has experienced significant on-field success, including winning the Premier League title and the UEFA Champions League. The ownership group has also overseen substantial commercial growth and stadium development at Anfield.
The addition of a high-profile investor like Bezos could signal further investment and strategic partnerships for the club. However, FSG’s continued majority control suggests a desire for stable leadership and continued adherence to their established management approach.
The implications of this new partial ownership structure for the club’s future operations, transfer strategy, and commercial endeavors remain to be seen. Further announcements regarding the deal are anticipated.
