Touchdown! Anheuser-Busch And The National Football League Extend Multi-Year Partnership

New York, NY – December 20, 2021: Sports play a meaningful role in creating lasting memories and moments that bring us all together – whether it's celebrating with family and friends, commiserating with a fellow fan over a tough loss or cheering over an epic play with strangers in a bar.

Continuing its long legacy of bringing loyal football fans together, Anheuser-Busch is proud to announce its multi-year renewal as the global exclusive beer and hard seltzer sponsor of the NFL. The partnership will include many new opportunities for the Anheuser-Busch brands, led by Bud Light, that will continue growing excitement among NFL fans.
