Built on the terraces.
Built to last.
BB Sports Distributors was founded in Manchester in 1979 by two lifelong football fans with a simple idea: make it easy for retailers to stock official, licensed football merchandise.
Over four decades later, we're still family-owned, still based in Manchester, and still obsessed with one thing — getting the right products to the right retailers, fast.
We hold official licensing agreements with 30+ clubs and operate a 50,000 sq ft distribution centre that ships to over 5,000 active trade accounts across the UK and Ireland.
Every product we sell is 100% official and licensed. No fakes, no grey market — your customers can trust the product, and you can trust us.
