American Express will soon offer exclusive access, value and experiences for Card Members in the New York/New Jersey and Atlanta metropolitan areas through new long-term partnerships. American Express will be named the Official Payments Partner of MetLife Stadium, the New York Jets, the New York Giants, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United and the newly awarded National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) team which will begin play in 2028. This builds on partnerships announced last year with Hard Rock Stadium and the Miami Dolphins in South Florida.
As part of these agreements, MetLife Stadium and Mercedes-Benz Stadium will join the American Express Venue Collection™, a benefit for eligible Card Members which includes access to Amex Presale Tickets® (while supplies last) for select events, the option to enrol in an exclusive offer to earn a statement credit on qualifying concession purchases, and more throughout the stadiums. Eligible Card Members will be able to access these perks at Mercedes-Benz Stadium starting with the spring event season and at MetLife Stadium heading into the NFL season later this year.
“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,” said Elizabeth Rutledge, Chief Marketing Officer at American Express. “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.”
“We are pleased to announce our partnership with American Express,” said Ron VanDeVeen, President and CEO of MetLife Stadium. “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 is one of the world’s most respected brands, known for service, innovation and putting customers first,” said Nana-Yaw Asamoah, Chief Commercial Officer of AMB Sports and Entertainment (AMBSE). “Those values align perfectly with our organization and our commitment to delivering world-class experiences at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and across our teams. We are proud to welcome American Express as a Founding Partner and look forward to creating extraordinary opportunities for our fans and community together.”
These new stadiums, MLS/NWLS and NFL team sponsorships – together with those announced in Miami last year – expand and strengthen American Express’ world-class portfolio of sports and entertainment partnerships. Spanning football, soccer, basketball, tennis, golf, motorsports, hockey, music, theatre and more, the portfolio underscores why Amex is your ticket to some of the best in sports and entertainment.
