MGM Resorts, BetMGM renew partnerships with Major League Baseball

In a relationship that started in 2018, MGM renewed their vows with one major professional sports league on Tuesday.

MGM Resorts International and BetMGM announced the renewal of their partnerships with Major League Baseball (MLB), three weeks prior to the league's MLB All-Star Game festivities in Philadelphia.

Both MGM entities became MLB's first Official Gaming and Sports Betting Partners eight years ago.

Currently, MGM Resorts and BetMGM have partnerships with a variety of MLB teams including the Boston Red Sox, Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Washington Nationals.

"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," said Lance Evans, Senior Vice President of Sports & Sponsorships, MGM Resorts International in a news release. "From Las Vegas and throughout the world, we're focused on providing premium experiences that connect sports with hospitality."

Under the new deals, MGM Resorts also continues as MLB's exclusive Integrated Resort & Casino Partner and will continue the  growth of MLB Awards Week in Las Vegas and other MLB events.

BetMGM will continue to market all of their offerings across all of MLB's platforms, including MLB Network and MLB.com. They 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.

"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," said Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer, BetMGM.
