Cheez-It and Pringles named official snacks of Major League Soccer

Kelloggs logo
March 7, 2017

Cheez-It and Pringles have long been essential game-time snack companions for many sports fans. That's why Cheez-It and Pringles have officially announced an exciting, multi-year partnership with Major League Soccer (MLS) to become the league's official snacks. Through the partnership, Cheez-It and Pringles will help fans get in on the MLS action like never before, bringing bold snacking experiences and flavor fun to the high-energy world of professional soccer.

The partnership is a multichannel approach with brand integration across digital, video, content, in-stadium exposure, and on-site activation at key MLS Events.

"We know Cheez-It and Pringles fans love soccer, from playing in the game themselves to cheering on their favorite team and players at home," said Melissa Pawlowicz, senior director of promotions for Kellogg's. "We're thrilled to be partnering with MLS to bring soccer fanatics of all ages exclusive and unique experiences throughout the season."

As part of the partnership, Cheez-It and Pringles are launching the Kick It with The Pros Sweepstakes. Five lucky fans and their guests will be selected to win the grand prize – a VIP all-access trip for two to the 2017 MLS All-Star week in Chicago, where winners can participate in an exclusive camp hosted by MLS legends, culminating in playing in a soccer match. The winners will also enjoy a "meet and greet" with select MLS players and coaches, all-access passes to the 2017 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target on August 2 at Soldier Field in Chicago, and exclusive MLS swag, among other perks. 

In addition, 100 first prize winners will receive $100 worth of MLS merchandise. Fans can enter the Kick It with The Pros Sweepstakes for a chance to win by using #KickItEntry on Twitter.

"Cheez-It and Pringles are storied brands with a shared history of delivering fun and engaging experiences that bring sports fans together," said Carter Ladd, vice president of business development for MLS. "This partnership will serve passionate soccer fans across the country who are hungry to get closer to the game they love, and we're excited to welcome both brands to the MLS family."
