PrizePicks, the largest daily fantasy sports operator in North America, has renewed its partnership with the Atlanta Braves, reaffirming its position as the club’s Official Daily Fantasy Sports Partner. This new three-year agreement reinforces the longstanding relationship between the two Atlanta-based powerhouses, building on a successful collaboration that began in 2020.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Atlanta Braves and to bring even more unforgettable experiences to fans across Braves Country. As a company rooted in community and growth, we’re proud to extend this collaboration for a fifth consecutive season and deepen our connection with fans nationwide,” said Mike Quigley, Chief Marketing Officer at PrizePicks.

As part of the partnership, PrizePicks branding will be prominently featured throughout Truist Park with a combination of static and LED signage. The company will also retain access to exclusive VIP experiences for business needs and will continue its popular “PrizePicks Pick of the Game” segment, which airs on the Braves Radio Network pregame show before all regular season games.

New for this season, PrizePicks will be offering fans a chance to win big with the Braves with the “PrizePicks 10 runs for 10k” promotion. Each time the Braves score 10 runs during a home game, the team will launch a text-to-enter promotion for a chance to win a $10,000 free PrizePicks lineup and tickets for a future Braves game to watch their picks live at Truist Park.
