2026 MLS Jersey Sponsors: Brands Fueling North American Soccer

The jersey is the most expensive real estate a MLS team owns. To win at the negotiation table, teams and brands need more than an estimate; they need the kind of hyper-accurate data that turns every broadcast frame and social media highlight into a defendable dollar sign. Recently, we’ve covered NBA jersey patches, NHL jersey and helmet sponsorships, Champions League kit sponsors, and we’re excited to be your go-to guide for the 2026 MLS season!

From healthcare giants to financial powerhouses, MLS jersey sponsors tell a fascinating story about brand investment in the league. Sponsorships aren’t just about visibility; they’re a statement of where brands see value in the North American soccer market. With Blinkfire Benchmarking, teams can easily compare asset value and performance across their league. Now, jump into our breakdown of each team’s jersey sponsors with example posts!

Apple TV Sleeve Sponsor

Apple TV continues to serve as the official jersey sleeve patch sponsor of MLS. As the home of MLS Season Pass, Apple TV’s presence on every kit reinforces its deep connection to the league and its global fanbase. Across the league’s owned & earned media during the 2025 MLS regular season and playoffs, Apple TV generated 187.3 million engagements.

Osterdämmerung – Easter Dawn

(English below)

„Ostern ist der einzige Morgen in der gesamten Geschichte, an dem die Morgendämmerung zweimal hereinbrach: einmal am östlichen Horizont und ein weiteres Mal in der Ewigkeit.“ ( Craig D. Lounsbrough)

Das Osterfest gehört zu dem Fundament, auf dem wir unsere Arbeit als Eine-Welt-Kreis machen, denn wir sind auf dem Weg ins Leben.

In diesem Sinne wünschen wir unseren Patenkindern und Mitarbeiterinnen in Ruanda, allen Paten und Förderern, unseren Lesern, ja, und allen Menschen weltweit ein frohes und gesegnetes Osterfest.

Zugleich danken wir allen Spendern, die schon anläßlich unseres „Passionsdankopfers“ ihr Mitgefühl gezeigt und damit ihren Dank zum Ausdruck gebracht haben!
Natürlich freuen wir uns auch weiterhin über Spenden für unser Projekt.
Viele Kinder warten auf so großherzige Menschen, wie es unsere Paten und Spender sind!


„Easter is the one morning in all of history where the dawn came twice; once on the eastern horizon and again in eternity.“ ( Craig D. Lounsbrough)

Easter is one of the cornerstones of our work as the One World Group, for we are on a journey towards life.

With this in mind, we wish our sponsored children and volunteers in Rwanda, all our sponsors and supporters, our readers and indeed all people worldwide a happy and blessed Easter.

At the same time, we would like to thank all donors who already have shown their charity and expressed their gratitude on the occasion of our ‘Passion Offering’!
Of course, we are still happy to receive donations for our project.
Many children are waiting for people as generous as our sponsors and donors!

SURF’S UP: Pembrokeshire teen riding wave of success on world stage

Josie Hawke, from Newgale in Pembrokeshire, is being backed once again as she looks to take her talents across the UK and Europe.

The rising star only took up surfing at the age of 10 — but has already established herself as one of the most exciting young prospects in Wales.

Last season proved to be a breakthrough year.

Josie dominated the Welsh Surfing National Junior Championships, successfully defending titles across three age groups — Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18.

She also impressed on a wider stage, finishing runner-up at Boardmasters and winning the Under 16 event at the prestigious Rip Curl GromSearch.

Now, the teenager has her sights firmly set on pushing even further.

She said: “Last season was really positive for me and this year I’ve set myself a number of goals, including doing well in national and European competitions.

“I’m looking forward to competing in more events than last year and making the most of every opportunity to learn and gain experience.”

Josie is also stepping up her training, focusing on fitness and strength work alongside time in the water.

“I’m working on my cardiovascular training and spending time in the gym twice a week,” she added.

Welsh surfing star, Josie Hawke with Stephen Deakin, chief executive at BCRS who are supporting Josie financially

Behind the scenes, she’s being supported by BCRS Business Loans, helping her travel, compete and continue developing her skills.

Her mum, Izzy Pullin, said the backing is making a real difference.

“Josie works incredibly hard and is always looking for ways to improve,” she said.

“The support means she can keep gaining experience at competitions and continue developing in the sport she loves.”

The organisation is also backing grassroots surfing in Wales, including events run by the Welsh Surfing Federation.

Stephen Deakin, chief executive at BCRS, said: “Josie is an exceptional young talent who has already achieved some fantastic results.

“Her determination and commitment to improving her skills are inspiring.”

With another packed season ahead — and international competition in her sights — the Pembrokeshire teen looks set to keep flying the flag for Welsh surfing.

Announcing Video Clipping: Turn Videos into Actionable Brand Insights

In the fast-paced world of social media and sports broadcasting, capturing the right moment is everything. Today, we are excited to announce Video Clipping, a powerful new tool designed to help you clip, value, and share the most impactful segments of your video content.

Whether you are working with social media videos, TV, or live broadcasts, Video Clipping allows you to transform hours of footage into bite-sized, data-rich assets.

Why Video Clipping?

The core goal of this feature is simple: to help you find the moments that matter most. Instead of analyzing a three-hour broadcast with varying levels of brand exposure, you can now isolate a two-minute highlight reel that focuses specifically on the most valuable brand moments. This turns video content into a strategic asset for sponsoring reporting.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Effortless Clip Creation: Extract specific segments from social media, TV, and broadcasts. Clips can be customized to your needs, ranging from five seconds to two minutes in length. Whether you want to highlight a 10-second brand exposure from a two-minute social media video or one-minute of highlights from a two-hour broadcast, the control is in your hands.
  • Optional Brand Rendering: Highlight exactly where brands appear within your clips. You can choose to render all detected brands or select specific ones to showcase to your stakeholders.
  • Flexible Clip Valuation: Understand the true value of your content. You can choose the valuation from the original post or recalculate it specifically for the clipped segment using our advanced audience retention data.
  • Seamless Sharing: Once your clip is ready, you’ll receive an email and a notification with a direct link to watch and/or share internally or with partners. It’s never been easier!

How It Works

The workflow is designed to be simple and intuitive:

  • Create your clip: Select your start and end times and give your clip a title.
  • Select brand detections: Choose whether to display brand and asset detections within the video.
  • Choose your valuation: Decide if you want to use the original post’s valuation or a segment-based calculation.
  • Save and share: Once processed, your branded clip is ready for export or stakeholder sharing.
  • Get Started Today

    Ready to turn your long-form video into actionable insights? Log in to Blinkfire and try Video Clipping today!
