The organizing committee behind the upcoming Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games has announced Commonwealth Bank (CommBank), the Australian multinational banking giant, as a founding partner of the event.
With the Olympics returning to Australia in 2032 for the first time since Sydney in 2000, CommBank will serve as a founding partner, premium partner, and the official bank of the marquee event.

These designations will also extend to the Australian Olympic Committee and Paralympics Australia bodies.
The company's role will focus on aiding grassroots sport development, supporting Australian athletes, and helping local businesses through the Brisbane 2032 supplier portal.
CommBank is the first Australian brand to sign on as a partner of the 2032 games.
The organizing committee predicts that Brisbane 2032 will “drive significant economic activity across Queensland and the broader Australian economy.”
A prominent backer of Australian sport, CommBank has already served as the naming rights partner of the women's national team – the Matildas – for the last four years, a deal that was extended for another six-year term back in June 2025.
The body’s recent focus on soccer also saw it serve as a regional partner of the 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup, which took place across Australia in March.
Despite the growth of its presence in soccer, 2025 did, however, see CommBank end its 37-year partnership with the Cricket Australia governing body.
However, with cricket due to return to the Olympic fold in 2028, should the event continue in 2032 in Australia (a major cricket market), the Brisbane games may serve as an avenue for CommBank to re-enter the sport.
