American Express is expanding its presence in sports and entertainment through new long-term partnerships across the New York/New Jersey and Atlanta metropolitan areas.
Under the agreements, American Express will become the Official Payments Partner of MetLife Stadium, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the New York Jets, New York Giants, Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United FC, and the upcoming National Women's Soccer League expansion team scheduled to debut in 2028.
These new collaborations build on a previously announced partnership with Hard Rock Stadium and the Miami Dolphins, further strengthening the company’s footprint in major U.S. sports markets.
Through the agreements, both MetLife Stadium and Mercedes-Benz Stadium will join the American Express Venue Collection™, offering eligible Card Members exclusive benefits at select events. These perks include access to Amex Presale Tickets®, opportunities to enroll in offers for statement credits on qualifying concession purchases, and additional stadium experiences.
Card Members will begin accessing benefits at Mercedes-Benz Stadium during the upcoming spring event season, with MetLife Stadium perks launching ahead of the upcoming NFL season.
MetLife Stadium President and CEO Ron VanDeVeen said, “We are pleased to announce our partnership with American Express. We value American Express’ customer-first philosophy, and we look forward to a wonderful collaboration that will enhance the fan experience through exclusive benefits and meaningful experiences that American Express is renowned for. The New York Giants, New York Jets, and MetLife Stadium are honored to welcome American Express as a partner, and together we will offer the world’s best customer experience on the world’s biggest stage.”
American Express CMO Elizabeth Rutledge added, “Recognizing the importance of sports and music fandom, we are creating even more value for our customers across moments that matter to them through these new partnerships. The new stadium and NFL team partnerships in the New York, Atlanta, and Miami areas further cement our role as a leading payments partner in sports and entertainment, while continuing to expand our presence in football.”
