The National Football League has officially expanded its NFL Ticket HQ platform, announcing that Tixr has joined as its newest licensed ticketing channel. This strategic move, unveiled during the NFL Spring League Meeting in Orlando, marks a significant step in the league’s ongoing effort to modernize its live event commerce and provide fans with a more personalized experience.

Strengthening the NFL Ticketing Ecosystem

A Modern Approach to Fan Engagement

Founded in 2013, Tixr has established a significant footprint in the sports and entertainment industry, currently supporting more than 700 partners across 60 countries. The platform’s expertise spans a wide range of sectors, including music festivals, nightlife, conventions, and professional sports, with existing partnerships across MLS, NWSL, NASCAR, and IndyCar.

By joining the NFL ecosystem, Tixr aims to leverage its technology to assist clubs in engaging fans throughout the entire event lifecycle. For the league, this partnership is part of a broader strategy to ensure that fans can easily access verified tickets through a variety of trusted marketplaces.

“The NFL stands as one of the world’s premier sports and media properties, and we’re thrilled to bring a sophisticated, forward-thinking approach as a partner,” said Robert Davari, CEO of Tixr. “Joining NFL Ticket HQ is an exciting step into the NFL ecosystem, and we look forward to growing within it.”
