Daily Fantasy Sports company PrizePicks announced a partnership extension with MLB team Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. PrizePicks will continue as the official DFS partner of the Braves in the ongoing MLB season.
“PrizePicks has been a valued partner for years. They are the leader in their industry and a prominent local Atlanta business, and we are happy to extend our relationship with them for the 2024 season,” Jim Allen, Atlanta Braves Senior Vice President of Corporate and Premium Partnerships, said.
PrizePicks and the Braves, based in Atlanta, have partnered since 2020. This partnership will see LED signage and other prominent signage of PrizePicks displayed across Truist Park. PrizePicks will also have access to other experiences, such as “Pick of the Game,” which will be featured for all 162 games in the regular season on the Braves Radio Network radio show.
“We are thrilled to continue our ever-growing relationship with the Atlanta Braves,” PrizePicks CEO and co-founder Adam Wexler said. “As a homegrown company born in Atlanta, it is a priority for us at PrizePicks to engage with local fans by continuing to bring amazing experiences to Braves Country.”

Other PrizePicks Partnerships
Apart from the Braves, PrizePicks has signed partnerships with NHL team Dallas Stars to become their official DFS partners. PrizePicks signed a deal with the UFC’s Bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley as the company’s brand ambassador. O’Malley participated in the inaugural PrizePicks World Championship, a tournament that brought athletes and celebrities together in a battle royale daily fantasy format.
“Sean O’Malley is one of the most electric athletes, not just in MMA, but across all sports,” Wexler said of the partnership. “Our partnerships are more than just a sponsorship; they are opportunities to collaborate with unique personalities to create entertaining experiences for the PrizePicks community.”
Earlier this month, PrizePicks also announced its plans to build a new office of 33,000 square feet in the Star Metals Building in Midtown Atlanta. The new plan will help the company grow its team by creating an additional 1,000 new jobs in seven years, which will create a positive economic impact of $25 million for the state of Georgia.
“Georgia continues to be a driver of tech growth and innovation, attracting innovative companies with its unique mix of talent and infrastructure,” Governor Brian Kemp said of the announcement. “(This) announcement is a reminder of our strength in welcoming new projects and creating an atmosphere where existing businesses can expand and thrive. I look forward to seeing the impact of these thousand jobs on the Atlanta community.”
