888sport extends agreement to sponsor the NFL
888sport, the innovative, cutting-edge sport division of 888 Holdings plc, is delighted to announce that it has agreed a new sponsorship agreement with the National Football League (NFL) to continue as its official sports betting partner in the UK & Ireland until 2025.
Under terms of the new agreement, 888sport will expand upon its highly successful partnership with the NFL, which has spanned across the last two seasons. For the highly anticipated London fixtures, which are set to take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley Stadium later this year, fans can expect to see the 888sport logo visible on the exterior of the stadium and throughout the fan zones, as well as on LED advertising boards during the games itself. This will be supported by a strong brand presence on all TV matches and highlight shows.
In line with the Group’s strategy to create entertaining, content-rich experiences for players, 888sport will become the exclusive presenter brand of the NFL’s apps and Fantasy products including Pick’em, the Super Bowl Challenge and Draft Predictor.
