Ford Becomes Official Vehicle of the MLB
Ford Motor Company and Major League Baseball have announced a multiyear exclusive partnership that makes Ford the league’s official automotive partner. The agreement puts Ford across all levels of the sport, from local youth leagues to the World Series, with a focus on community involvement and fan engagement.
Under the deal, Ford will have a presence at key MLB events, including Opening Day, All-Star Week, MLB at Field of Dreams, and the postseason. The partnership also extends to Minor League Baseball and Little League Baseball and Softball, including the Little League World Series.
Ford plans to support youth baseball by providing grant funding to Little League programs in communities where it operates, such as Kansas City, Buffalo, and Detroit. The funding is intended to help cover equipment, uniforms, and access to training programs. This builds on existing efforts by Ford dealers to support local leagues.
The two organizations say the partnership reflects shared priorities around community and long-term investment in the sport. It also comes as both look to remain relevant with younger audiences while maintaining ties to their history.
Ford already has relationships with several MLB teams, including the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, and St. Louis Cardinals. This broader agreement expands that involvement across the league.
As part of the launch, Ford and MLB are introducing a “Drive Them Home” sweepstakes, offering fans a chance to win All-Star Game tickets and a selection of Ford vehicles, including an F-150, Expedition, or Bronco.
