A partnership between both parties isn’t exactly a huge surprise, as FaZe Clan has been arguably the biggest esports organization out there, working together with big brands in the past. Likewise, the NFL has worked together with gaming-related influencers and streamers in the past, such as TimTheTatman. The partnership between the team and the NFL has the intention of bringing both the gaming world and football world together.
What does the partnership include?
FaZe Clan will be hosting a flag football game on February 12 which is set to include some prominent influencers hailing from the organization as well as some football legends in the form of Michael Vick and Brett Favre, who’ll be functioning as the team’s quarterbacks. Each team’s participation will net $25.000 for charity. FaZe also announced that they’ll be working closely with NFL on other co-branded content and events in the future.
“Our continued work with the NFL is a great example of how FaZe Clan delivers content and activations that tap into the passions of our fans and talent,” said Xavier Ramos, SVP and Head of Marketing at FaZe Clan. “On top of many successful collaborations in the past, there is mutual appreciation, support and organic friendship among FaZe talent and NFL players across the league. We greatly value the NFL’s respect for the gaming community at large and we’re excited to continue to help drive the cultural convergence of gaming and traditional sports.”
