It was announced today that 2x Super Bowl champion, Chris Long, is partnering with BetMGM for a new multi-year deal that will make BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, the Presenting Sponsor and exclusive sports betting partner of his hit sports and culture podcast, “Green Light with Chris Long”.

The show, hosted by Long and friends, ranks among the most popular sports series, garnering over 100M monthly views across its digital and social media platforms.

The deal, negotiated between Brian Nelson at Allied Sports on behalf of Chris Long and the “Green Light” podcast and BetMGM, includes BetMGM-branded segments within the podcast, custom social content, and on-site activations during key moments in the sports calendar year, such as NFL Kickoff and beyond.

“I am beyond excited to announce ‘Green Light’s’ partnership with BetMGM as we near NFL kickoff,” said Chris Long. “As the show has grown over the past couple of years, so has our ambition to elevate when it comes to building out new content and fan activations throughout the sports calendar year — and this partnership will allow us to do both and continue to engage more with our loyal listeners.”

Long has also been named as BetMGM’s newest ambassador, joining the ranks of other sports legends such as Kevin Garnett, Barry Sanders, and Wayne Gretzky.

This collaboration will see the development of various fan and consumer engagement opportunities, leveraging the unique strengths of both “Green Light” and BetMGM.

“Chris Long was a champion on the field and now he is a powerful and authentic voice in sports and culture,” said BetMGM’s Chief Revenue Officer Matt Prevost. “His style resonates with fans and we are excited to team up with Chris and his fantastic podcast.”

“Green Light with Chris Long”, which lives under Long’s Yote House Media banner, has gained a loyal fanbase for its authentic and engaging sports commentary, featuring in-depth interviews with athletes and sports figures such as Jason Kelce, Shaquille O’Neal, Matthew McConaughey, Aaron Donald, and more.
