Daily fantasy sports operator PrizePicks announced a new partnership with the Atlanta Hawks, marking the first NBA team partnership for the prominent sports entertainment brand.

Major integration on game days

The move will see PrizePicks partner not only with the club but with its home, State Farm Arena, with PrizePicks branding set to feature across the club’s game-day experience both in-person and on broadcasts.

“We are thrilled to be the first NBA franchise to partner with PrizePicks,” said Andrew Saltzman, president of business enterprise for the Hawks and State Farm Arena. “As two organizations with deep roots in Atlanta, we look forward to building something truly special together and creating new opportunities to deliver unique and engaging experiences to our fans."

The integration will also see the utilization of “certain groups of Atlanta Hawks players throughout the local market to appeal to the growing fan community on PrizePicks.”

The deal also introduces the PrizePicks Party Deck within State Farm Arena, where fans will be able to “enjoy elevated Hawks game-day experiences,” as well as other events hosted in-arena. PrizePicks will also serve as a presenting sponsor across multiple Hawks initiatives including Hawks AF (And Friends) and the club’s internally produced podcast series.

“Earlier this year, PrizePicks was named an Official Daily Fantasy Sports Partner of the National Basketball Association,” the company noted. “Together, these partnerships reinforce the company’s commitment to professional sports and its continued focus on delivering innovative, fan-first experiences.”
