Delta and Atlanta Braves extend historic hometown partnership through 2035, bringing new experiences exclusively for SkyMiles Members

The renewed partnership builds on a relationship that began in 1966 when the Braves first moved to Atlanta.

Delta and the Atlanta Braves are continuing a relationship that has helped define Atlanta sports for nearly six decades. The new agreement keeps Delta as the Official Airline Partner of the Atlanta Braves through the 2035 season and will introduce new fan experiences for Delta SkyMiles Members beginning this season.

As part of the extended partnership, Delta today announced "Pre-Boarding at Truist Park," a new perk that allows SkyMiles Members early entry to Friday home games to watch batting practice from the outfield seating bowl and catch home run balls before gates open to the public.

"Atlanta is Delta's hometown, and the Braves have been an essential part of the city's culture for generations," said Emmakate Young, Head of Global Partnership Marketing at Delta. "As we continue this relationship through 2035, we're proud to continue supporting Braves fans and creating memorable moments for SkyMiles Members at the ballpark, while celebrating the spirit of Atlanta together."

"For 60 seasons of Braves baseball in Atlanta, Delta Air Lines has been an extraordinary partner to our organization," said Jim Allen, Senior Vice President of Corporate & Premium Partnerships at Atlanta Braves. "As two institutions deeply rooted in this city, the connection between the Braves and Delta reflects a shared pride in Atlanta and the community we serve. We are also appreciative of the tremendous care that Delta takes in transporting our players throughout the year. We are grateful for this longstanding relationship and excited about what the future holds together."

Delta's presence at Truist Park

Fans will continue to see Delta throughout the Braves game-day experience at Truist Park, where the airline's brand appears across several high-visibility locations, including the left outfield wall and digital LED displays during games.

One of the ballpark's premier hospitality spaces also carries the Delta name. The Delta SKY360° Club, a 17,000-square-foot all-inclusive venue behind home plate, offers premium-seat ticket holders elevated food and beverage options, expert mixologists and uninterrupted views of the game alongside first-class service.

Just outside the stadium, the Delta Parking Deck - marked by a 25-foot Delta tailfin installation - has become a recognizable landmark for fans arriving for home games.

Memorable moments for all Braves fans

Over the years, Delta and the Braves have created memorable fan experiences through special promotions and giveaways, including iconic bobbleheads celebrating Braves stars and baseball history.

Fans have also been able to take part in interactive in-game activations such as Delta Doppelgänger, which pairs fans with their celebrity look-alikes on the big screen, and the Delta First Class Seat Upgrade, where Braves trivia gives fans the chance to move into premium seating during the game.

Supporting the Atlanta community

Beyond the ballpark, the relationship continues to support the Atlanta community. In early 2026, the Atlanta Braves opened the first of 16 Hank Aaron Diamonds at Atlanta Public Schools high schools, a critical infrastructure and programmatic initiative supported by Delta.

Additionally, Delta serves as the presenting partner of the Braves Blood Drives, hosted with the American Red Cross at Truist Park throughout the year.

Continuing a hometown legacy

What began when the Braves arrived in Atlanta nearly 60 years ago has grown into one of the longest-standing partnerships in professional sports. The two organizations have grown alongside the city, united by a shared commitment to connecting communities and celebrating the passion of baseball fans across the region.

From its Atlanta hometown hub, Delta connects Braves fans to more than 200 destinations worldwide with over 900 peak-day departures. That reach continues to grow with new nonstop service to Naples and Brussels this summer.
