BOSTON (May 12, 2025) – Today, Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., announces its multi-year sponsorship of Leagues Cup and is named the official juice of the tournament. Entering its third year following the inaugural edition in 2023, the annual summer soccer competition features clubs from Major League Soccer (MLS) and LIGA MX. This new partnership is an extension of Ocean Spray’s brand campaign – Just Add Cran™ which centers on the belief that when you add cranberry to any dish or moment – even a soccer game – good things happen.
To kick off this partnership, Ocean Spray is combining consumers’ passion for refreshing juice flavors and cranberry-blends with the growing fandom for soccer through a new sweepstakes launching today and running through July 6, 2025. Fans can enter for the chance to win hundreds of prizes, as well as a trip to the Leagues Cup Final, by purchasing a bottle of participating Ocean Spray® juices, scanning their receipt and uploading them to www.OceanSpraySweeps.com*.
“We were inspired to enter this multi-year partnership to further engage with the growing fandom surrounding soccer in North America. Our portfolio of cranberry-forward blends offers a perfect joyful moment in the afternoon and can be a wonderful complement to fans watching this tournament,” said Trinh Le, Vice President, USA Branded at Ocean Spray. “We hope to show Leagues Cup fans how to Just Add Cran all summer long with our new sweepstakes, game-day recipes and more.”
The first year of our partnership will kick off with exciting sweepstakes, brought to life through exclusive limited-edition packaging that captures the vibrant spirit and thrill of soccer fandom, highlighting key players of the tournament. This custom label can be found on majority of Ocean Spray blended flavors, available in both 64oz. and 10oz. sizes. The campaign will also feature engaging social media giveaways, custom-crafted recipes, and an immersive on-site event designed to help fans showcase their passion for their favorite club in unforgettable ways.
“Leagues Cup is honored to partner with Ocean Spray as the storied brand is entering into its first sponsorship at a time when the popularity of soccer in North America is at an all-time high,” said Carter Ladd, Soccer United Marketing (SUM) EVP, Chief Revenue Officer. “As we enter year three our goal is to enhance the tournament experience and continue to forge authentic connections with fans, and we are grateful to welcome Ocean Spray who share that same vision and drive as we continue take this highly anticipated tournament to new heights.”
