The next year will see a fresh rebrand of the company’s award-winning portfolio, including an expanded lineup of QLED screens and impressive sound bars that the NFL believes are the optimal way for fans to experience sports watching from home.

“As TV and sports have long been a winning marriage, becoming the official TV partner of the NFL gives TCL a strategic partnership to affirm its formula for success — high quality, unmatched performance and exceptional value among consumers who expect the best,” Chris Hamdorf, senior vice president of TCL North America, said in a statement. “As we just proved at CES, our brand has grown globally and as our product offering expands beyond home theater, we are confident that aligning with the NFL will bolster our brand recognition and are thrilled to have them as a key partner to kick off this next chapter for TCL.”

TCL has long been a technology leader in the home theater space, making it a strategic partner choice for the NFL. The brand introduced the world’s first Quantum Dot TV (a new type of LED-backlit LCD TV with dramatically enhanced color) and mini-LED TV, and developed its own TCL AIPQ Engine technology. Its 2023 lineup will include new products within the smart S-Series and QLED Q-Series, with most buzz around the newest 98″ model in the QM8 Collection, the largest mini-LED TV in history.

“Our broadcasts can only look as good as the TVs they’re displayed on, which makes TCL’s products truly meaningful to the NFL experience,” Nana-Yaw Asamoah, senior vice president of partnership strategy and new business for the NFL, said in a statement. “The NFL spends a lot of time evaluating potential partners to ensure their products, performance and culture match our standard for excellence and TCL is a perfect fit. We look forward to helping them continue to grow their brand recognition and
business.”
