This partnership has opened exciting avenues for us, and we’re thrilled to bring Viva Tequila Seltzer to even more fans of Boston sports, as well as the ‘Ultimate Betting Show’ audience. The response has been fantastic, and we can’t wait to raise the bar even higher together.”

As the official hard seltzer, Viva Beverages will enjoy prime visibility during live game broadcasts and various other NESN original programs. Viva Tequila Seltzer branding will be seamlessly integrated into live professional game telecasts through graphics, commercials and innovative product placements.

“We are excited to renew our partnership with Viva Beverages, which will continue their brand’s integration across NESN’s premier sports coverage year-round,” SVP of Broadcast and Digital Partnerships Cosmina Schulman said. “Viva’s commitment to delivering quality and innovation aligns perfectly with NESN’s mission to provide the best sports and entertainment content to our viewers.”
