New Balance have released the FC Porto third kit for 2026-27, to be worn across Primeira Liga and UEFA Champions League fixtures. The shirt arrives shortly after Porto claimed their 31st league title, and it takes a different direction from the club's traditional blue and white: pale aqua with Porto blue as the accent colour.
The design
The base is a pale aqua, light and clean against Porto's usual deep blue. Across the front and back runs a tonal raised pattern, formed from small jacquard-style sections integrated into the fabric. At distance the shirt reads as a single colour. Up close the texture is visible across the full surface.
The collar is a v-neck with blue and white trim. The FC Porto crest sits on the left chest, the New Balance logo in blue on the right. Betano, the main shirt sponsor, is printed centrally across the chest. Super Bock branding appears on the upper back, below the "FC Porto" text beneath the rear neckline. An authenticator tag is stitched near the lower hem.
The shirt is made from 100% recycled polyester and uses New Balance's NB DRY fast-drying technology.

The background
FC Porto and New Balance have been partners since 2015, one of the longer-running kit deals in Portuguese football. Porto's away and third shirts have historically offered the most creative freedom within the partnership, and this aqua shirt continues that pattern. The jacquard fabric construction is the same technology New Balance used across several of their 2026-27 releases, embedding visual detail into the weave rather than printing it on top.
