BOSTON, MA - BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, announced today it now is an Official Sports Betting Partner of the Boston Red Sox. This marks BetMGM's first relationship with a Massachusetts sports team and the first sports betting partnership for the Red Sox.

"The Red Sox are one of baseball's most beloved organizations and we're thrilled to bring BetMGM to their passionate fans," said Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer, BetMGM. "We look forward to working together to elevate the gameday experience in Boston."

As part of the partnership, BetMGM signage will be featured at Fenway Park including on the iconic Green Monster, the ballpark's left field wall.

"The Boston Red Sox are proud to partner with BetMGM as we prepare to enter a new era of professional sports betting in Massachusetts," said Troup Parkinson, Executive Vice President, Partnerships, Boston Red Sox.
