The New York Jets has announced the launch of its international membership club, an official fan club for the UK and Ireland.
This launch aims to enhance the Jets’ connections with the UK and Ireland, offering supporters various benefits based on their chosen membership tier while making use of the NFL’s Global Markets Programme.
When fans sign up, they will start in the ‘Rookie’ tier but can upgrade to ‘MVP’ if they choose. The Rookie tier provides various benefits such as a one-time Weekly Pro Game Pass International (GPI) code, entry into a London Games ticket raffle, merchandise discounts, a digital membership card, priority access to tickets for MetLife Stadium and Jets events in the UK, exclusive sweepstakes and more.
Fans can choose to upgrade to the ‘MVP’ tier for £159.99 or €179.99. This upgrade provides access to GPI Season Pro, which includes a full-season subscription to stream every NFL game, including the Playoffs and Super Bowl, as well as NFL RedZone, NFL Network, Hard Knocks and more for the entire 2024-2025 season.
Additionally, MVPs also enjoy improved chances for London Games tickets, higher merchandise discounts, a physical membership card featuring a game-worn Jets jersey inlay and virtual meet-and-greets with current and former Jets stars.
John MacCarter, New York Jets Vice President of Finance and Analytics, commented: “After spending time connecting and listening to fans outside of the US we are pleased to introduce New York Jets FC to fans everywhere.
“The UK and Ireland are two important markets for the Jets, and we are excited to offer this growing fan base a new touchpoint to engage with us. We hope that the bespoke and unique offerings of New York Jets FC will continue to strengthen the bond and connection that our international fans feel with the team.”
This offering aligns with not only the Jets’ ambition to expand globally but also the ambition of the NFL to do the same.
The Jets were awarded marketing rights through the NFL’s Global Markets Programme. The Programme awards NFL clubs international marketing rights to build brand awareness and fandom beyond the US through fan engagement, events and commercial opportunities.
The announcement also comes as the team prepares for its much-anticipated return to the UK on 6 October to face the Minnesota Vikings at the 2024 London Games. This will be the team’s third visit to London, following previous games against the Miami Dolphins in 2015 and the Atlanta Falcons in 2021.
