Arkansas Razorbacks announce multi-year partnership with Tyson Foods

Tyson Foods becomes exclusive jersey patch sponsor for all 19 Arkansas Razorbacks varsity teams in a five-year deal starting 2026-27, marking a major new revenue source.

  • The University of Arkansas announced on Wednesday a five-year partnership with Tyson Foods placing the Tyson logo on jersey patches for all 19 varsity teams starting in the 2026-27 academic year.
  • After the NCAA Division I Cabinet approved jersey patch sales in January, Arkansas began searching for a sponsor last fall, and discussions with Tyson leadership expanded the plan to all 19 sports.
  • The agreement includes multiple brand integrations, including the 'Official Protein of the Arkansas Razorbacks' designation, logos on playing surfaces across campus, press-conference backdrops, and some Arkansas student-athletes as NIL brand ambassadors.
  • Tyson executives framed the deal as an investment in Northwest Arkansas, with Hunter Yurachek calling it the most lucrative true corporate sponsorship benefiting every student-athlete.
  • With the two-patch limit, Arkansas is the fifth school to announce a game-worn jersey sponsor, while retaining the ability to sell additional playing-surface sponsorships.
