From stronger in-store presence and product innovation to deep and meaningful engagement with our consumers and their favorite teams, we look forward to working with the NFL to create unforgettable and delicious game day moments for fans all around the world.”
The partnership also helps the NFL accelerate its continued push to touch a broader, international audience. Kraft Heinz will gain access to select overseas games this upcoming season and beyond.
In doing so, Kraft Heinz will work with the league to set up exclusive fan experiences and game day celebrations with the foods they all love.
“Kraft Heinz is an iconic brand with products that are fixtures at kitchen tables, tailgates and beyond,” NFL Senior Vice President of Global Partnerships Tracie Rodburg said. “This partnership, including its focus on global growth and flag football, is a win for the league and our fans.”
The first big NFL event Kraft Heinz will activate its partnership is at the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, the city where Heinz was born.
