MGM Resorts International and BetMGM announced the renewal of their partnerships with Major League Baseball (MLB). This extends a historic relationship that began in 2018 with MGM Resorts and BetMGM becoming MLB’s first Official Gaming and Sports Betting Partners.
Under the multi–year agreements, MGM Resorts also continues as MLB’s exclusive Integrated Resort & Casino Partner, delivering world-class experiences to fans across the company’s destinations. This includes the continued development and growth of MLB Awards Week in Las Vegas and other MLB events geared to marketing and promoting baseball stars.
“As Major League Baseball continues to evolve, we’re pleased to extend a partnership that aligns with our long–term vision for global sports and entertainment. From Las Vegas and throughout the world, we’re focused on providing premium experiences that connect sports with hospitality,” said Lance Evans, SVP of Sports & Sponsorships at MGM Resorts International.
BetMGM will continue to market its brand and sports wagering offerings across MLB platforms, including MLB Network, MLB.com and the league’s digital portfolio, reaching fans in the US and Canada. BetMGM will also maintain sponsorship integration across MLB content on Apple TV and continue to offer and develop co–branded MLB–themed casino games on BetMGM Casino, its award–winning digital gaming platform.
Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer at BetMGM, said: “Major League Baseball offers one of the most engaging, data–rich experiences in sports, and this renewal underscores our shared commitment to innovation, integrity, and responsibility. Together, we’re enhancing how fans experience the game, from defining moments on the field to legendary experiences at marquee events like MLB All–Star Week.”
Uzma Rawn Dowler, MLB Chief Marketing Officer & Senior Vice President, Global Corporate Partnerships, said: “MGM Resorts and BetMGM have been great partners to Baseball for nearly a decade. We’re excited to continue our relationship and together help create more unique experiences for our fans.”
