What is Black Cats Membership?
Black Cats Membership is Sunderland AFC's official membership scheme, launched for our first season back in the Premier League and our first European football in over 50 years. It gives every supporter, home or away, local or international, more access, more content and more ways to follow the club.
How long does membership last?
Membership runs for the footballing season. For 2026-27, this is effective from the purchase date through to its expiry on 31 May 2027. Auto-Renewal will follow later in the season, more on this below.
Is Black Cat Points part of Black Cats Membership?
No. Black Cat Points (BCP) is a separate Sunderland AFC scheme and runs independently of Black Cats Membership.
I'm a season ticket holder, can I buy Black Cats Membership?
Yes, Season Ticket Plus is built for you. Most Black Cats - Adult and Academy benefits are already included with your season ticket, so Season Ticket Plus gives you what you don't have: access to the Men's away ticket ballot, mascot ballot access, and additional content, member offers and in-store event access.
