The New York Jets today announced a new multi-year partnership with Porsche Cars North America, Inc. The agreement marks Porsche's first NFL partnership and major market sports sponsorship on the East Coast. Porsche is the official sports car and luxury vehicle of the New York Jets.
"We are thrilled to be a part of the first NFL partnership with an industry leader like Porsche," said Jets President Neil Glat. "For us, we are always looking to establish partnerships with elite companies and iconic brands, and Porsche certainly exemplifies that. Collectively, we have created a multi-faceted program that goes beyond more traditional deals and are excited to showcase it all to our fans."
As the official sports car and luxury vehicle of the Jets, Porsche will be the presenting partner of the Jets Green Room – the Jets all-inclusive hospitality lounge and ultra-exclusive club inside MetLife Stadium. The premium indoor space, with a large outdoor patio and private seating, has a high-energy bar atmosphere where former Jets players, celebrities, and corporate partners mingle, network and cheer on the Jets.
"On behalf of our Tri-State Dealer partners, we are pleased to serve as the official sports car for the New York Jets," said Jacob Harb, Vice President, Area East for Porsche Cars North America. "This truly unique partnership provides us with the opportunity to leverage the strength of the Jets and Porsche brands to provide an enhanced experience for both of our fans."

The new deal will also provide select Jets suite holders, premium season ticket holders and corporate partners the opportunity to participate in a unique driving experience in Porsche vehicles at a local track along with Jets personalities. During the season, the Porsche brand will be incorporated into special events at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center including Jets Training Camp and a co-developed Intelligent Performance themed camp, during which best practices will be shared with Jets Partner Alliance members, team personnel and Porsche guests.
The partnership was officially unveiled by a short-form video produced by Jets 360 (the Jets production company) featuring Jets Hall of Fame running back Curtis Martin and seven-time Pro-Bowler and two-time team MVP cornerback Darrelle Revis appearing in a white and green Porsche 911 GT3 at the team's training facility.
Throughout the season, Jets 360 will also produce an original web series called Players in Porsches. While driving a variety of Porsche's signature vehicles, teammates will be interviewed by a current player about football and their off-the-field interests and hobbies.
