The announcement of the extended partnership comes after Oakley announced a partnership with NFL Flag, the youth flag football league, in August.

Oakley also has a number of partnerships outside of the NFL, across a number of sports. The eyewear brand is the official eyewear provider of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic games, as well as Team USA in both competitions.

In January 2022, the company also signed French soccer star Kylian Mbappe to a multi-year sponsorship.

The Oakley deal follows a number of licensing partnerships the NFL has struck over the summer, including a deal with sports entertainment brand WWE to sell NFL-inspired WWE title belts.
