PrizePicks Extends Long-Term Relationship with Atlanta Braves
PrizePicks, the largest daily fantasy sports operator in North America, has unveiled an extension of its partnership with the Atlanta Braves. The renewed deal will solidify the DFS company’s position as the club’s Official Daily Fantasy Sports Partner for the 2024 baseball season.
The deal builds upon a long-term partnership between the two entities. PrizePicks originally joined forces with the Braves back in 2020 and has supported the team ever since. As a company based in Atlanta, PrizePicks reiterated its commitment to supporting local sports and working together with the club on unique opportunities for its fervent fans.
Under the deal, PrizePicks will receive out-field LED signage and prominent representation across Truist Park, the home stadium of the Atlanta Braves. Additionally, the company will gain access to VIP experiences throughout the baseball season, including a “Pick of the Game” that will appear on the Braves Radio Network pre-game radio show for all 162 regular season games.
PrizePicks is the fastest-growing sports company in North America, according to the 2023 Inc. 5000 rankings. The DFS specialist continues to grow and expand its workforce and has big plans for Braves County and the US as a whole. The company also just unveiled a new HQ in Atlanta, which would create approximately 1,000 new jobs over the next seven years.
The Braves, on the other hand, are the longest continuously operating franchise in Major League Baseball. Based in the city since 1966, the club has earned 2 National League wild cards, 21 division championships, 6 National League pennants and two 2 Series titles since 1991 alone.
The Braves Are Happy to Have PrizePicks by Their Side
The club’s senior vice president of corporate and premium partnerships, Jim Allen, commented on the extended partnership, saying that PrizePicks has been a valued partner to the Braves for several years now. He praised the daily fantasy operator as a leader in its industry and lauded it as a prominent local business the Braves are happy to work with.
They are the leader in their industry and a prominent local Atlanta business, and we are happy to extend our relationship with them for the 2024 season.
