NBCUniversal and LA 2028 established a partnership that will include media, sponsorship, and activation opportunities in the US for the Olympic and Paralympic Games from 2021-2028. The deal, which marks the first of its kind in US Olympic and Paralympic history, gives brands the opportunity to connect with audiences across Olympic and Paralympic touchpoints throughout the next decade. Linda Yaccarino, Chairman, Advertising and Partnerships, NBCUniversal will lead this effort in partnership with Casey Wasserman, LA 2028 Chairperson.

“Nothing brings people together like the pure emotional power of the Olympic Games. This partnership between NBCUniversal and LA 2028 is a true first for the industry, and gives marketers the opportunity to make an unrivaled economic and cultural impact,” said Yaccarino. “Together, we’re building what’s never been available before—the chance to be an exclusive partner of a monumental global movement for the next decade, culminating with the first Summer Games in the U.S. in more than three decades.”

“At no other time in Olympic and Paralympic history have the stakes been higher, and yet more rewarding. We are at an inflection point in the sports, lifestyle and live event business that demands a complete reimagining of the model and approach to embracing and involving marketers,” said Wasserman. “I am so proud to partner with NBCUniversal and their team of innovators to bring the true promise of the Games to audiences in a way that is more connected and relevant. NBCUniversal’s commitment to our partnership guarantees 2028’s success like no other Games before it.”
