WTA × Mercedes-Benz: What a Historic Deal Means for Hospitality Programs, and How Concierge Live Helps You Maximize It

Introduction

The WTA’s new multiyear agreement with Mercedes-Benz, making the automaker the Tour’s “premier & exclusive automobile partner” beginning in 2026, is being hailed as the biggest sponsorship in WTA history. The deal brings visible branding at events, hospitality activations, and elevated global exposure.

This kind of high-visibility, high-stakes partnership signals a larger shift: as women’s sports gain prominence and sponsorship dollars grow, hospitality and event access (tickets, VIP suites, guest experiences) become more valuable and more complex than ever before.

What the WTA–Mercedes-Benz Deal Reveals

• A milestone for women’s sport — The deal marks the most significant commitment to date for the Tour, replacing the previous sponsor and signaling long-term investment in women’s tennis.

• Premium hospitality & global visibility — From prominent branding at events to chauffeured fleets for players, officials, and guests, the partnership will drive elevated experiences and expansive reach across tournaments worldwide.

• Growing expectations for sponsors & hospitality programs — As assets tied to sponsorship deals grow in value and visibility, brands and organizations managing event access must match that elevated standard of execution.
