Two of the most iconic brands in sports and entertainment are renewing one of the industry’s longest-standing relationships.

NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)

Anheuser-Busch (NYSE: BUD), – a leading American manufacturer, the nation’s top brewer and one of the fastest-growing spirits companies – and Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: MSGE) (“MSG Entertainment”), Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (NYSE: MSGS) (“MSG Sports”), and Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE: SPHR) (together, the “MSG Family of Companies”) announced today an expanded, multi-year sponsorship that showcases the company as an Official Sponsor across the MSG Family of Companies’ portfolio of premier sports and entertainment assets.

As one of the industry’s longest-standing sponsorships, the extension will showcase Anheuser-Busch’s portfolio of brands as the two organizations champion the moments and categories important to fans of sports and entertainment. NÜTRL Vodka Seltzer and Cutwater, two of the fastest growing brands in the industry that are leading and growing the ready-to-drink (RTD) alcohol beverage category, will be promoted alongside Michelob ULTRA, America’s #1 top-selling beer.

“For more than 100 years, Anheuser-Busch has contributed to the world class fan experience at Madison Square Garden and its family of venues,” said Spencer Gordon, Group VP of Connections at Anheuser-Busch. “We’re committed to continuing that legacy for years to come with this extended sponsorship, whether you’re a fan of the Knicks, Rangers or the hundreds of performers at MSG every year. Our portfolio of brands and strategic partnership will provide first-class experiences for some of the most passionate fans in the world.”

“Across the MSG Family of Companies we are focused on creating opportunities for meaningful connection, both in our venues and as part of integrations with our brands,” said Doug Jossem, Executive Vice President, Global Sports & Entertainment Partnerships, MSG Entertainment. “Throughout our long-standing collaboration with Anheuser-Busch we have created a variety of unique activations that have brought people together around sports and entertainment, and we look forward to continuing to deliver memorable moments for our guests in this next chapter.”

As part of the expanded sponsorship, Anheuser-Busch will receive premium exposure across the MSG Family of Companies’ portfolio year-round, including at Madison Square Garden and Sphere in Las Vegas; as well as with the New York Knicks and New York Rangers, the Concert Series at Madison Square Garden, College Hoops at The Garden, and MSG Networks.

Fans attending sports events at Madison Square Garden will recognize Anheuser-Busch’s portfolio of brands advertised both inside and around the venue, with a robust suite of assets that include:

• Multiple on-court / on-ice displays during Knicks, Rangers and college basketball games via the basket stanchion, courtside signage and dasher boards
