ASHBURN, Va. — Less than a month into Josh Harris' ownership of the Washington Commanders, Anheuser-Busch has returned as a major sponsor of the franchise.
It's the second big sponsorship announcement in the past week for the franchise. On Wednesday, the team announced Verizon had become a sponsor, agreeing to a two-year deal.
Anheuser-Busch had ended its longtime sponsorship of the team in March 2022, amid investigations of previous owner Dan Snyder by Congress and the NFL, costing the team approximately $3 million dollars in revenue, a team source said at the time.
Though the company did not publicly state Snyder was the reason it dropped Washington — Anheuser-Busch had cut ties with other teams around the same time — sources in the Commanders' organization believed that to be the reason. «We are excited to have the Commanders back on our NFL roster,» Matt Davis, VP of partnerships at Anheuser-Busch, said in a statement. «Our history with the Washington franchise runs deep.» As part of the new four-year deal with Anheuser-Busch, Washington's offensive players will wear a Folds of Honor patch on their practice jerseys.
