The 2025-26 season is now underway for both the Philadelphia 76ers and Flyers. As the two teams begin their seasons anew, full of hope and expectation, they will not do so alone, having announced a new partnership with one of the premier financial institutions, not only in America but worldwide.
On Thursday, the teams officially announced that, beginning this season, Bank of America (BoA) is now the official banking partner of the Xfinity Mobile Arena.
“This is a historic partnership that will expand Bank of America’s Philadelphia presence well beyond the ice, court, or stage,” said Dan Hilferty, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Comcast Spectacor and Governor, Philadelphia Flyers. “The Philadelphia region has the most passionate fans, storied franchises, and is a top concert destination. Alongside the 76ers, we couldn’t be more excited to partner with Bank of America to engage with our city and region at games, concerts, and increase community programs through education and resources in the years to come.”
As Hilferty stated, BoA will join its new partners in their efforts to empower the local community and the many small businesses within the Greater Philadelphia area by providing educational opportunities, increasing resources, and offering interactive community-based programs.
Among those efforts will be several programs and initiatives, including the 76ers' Spirit of Small Business Program and the Enrich Program, the Youth Hockey Community Initiative, and additional projects aimed at supporting small businesses and promoting youth development. This includes donating to community partners, offering discounts to fans who purchase goods and services from small businesses, and collaborating with regional school districts.
“Together with our partners at Comcast Spectacor and Bank of America, we will leverage the power of sports to create impactful youth programming, as well as amplify the incredible small business community we have throughout the Philadelphia region, said Tad Brown, Chief Executive Officer, Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment and the Philadelphia 76ers. "This is a partnership we are really proud of because it’s centered around our fans, our community, and the ability to drive positive change.”
