The new partnership has been initially agreed until summer 2026.

As a platinum partner of FC Bayern Basketball, SIXT will have access to a comprehensive marketing package, including various branding and activation measures for the German Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) and the internationally renowned EuroLeague.

With this, the SIXT brand will be present at all home games, not only for the fans at BMW Park but also for TV viewers at home.

The partnership includes exclusive opportunities for hospitality, ticketing, and merchandising, which SIXT can use for raffles and customer loyalty programs. This also involves the creation of branded content to engage with followers on various social media platforms. Additionally, the partners agreed to participate in local social projects in the Greater Munich area, such as building basketball courts or providing training opportunities for young players.

Tobias Seitz, CMO at SIXT: “We share at least three things with FC Bayern Basketball: Firstly, the local connection to our hometown Munich. Secondly, an unwavering will to win. And thirdly, the aspiration to grow as a team and continuously improve. Therefore, we are confident that we are the right car rental partner for the fans of FC Bayern Basketball and look forward to exciting them with our offerings and services.”
