Streaming giant Netflix has forged a landmark global partnership with beer industry titan AB InBev, promising a wave of innovative co-marketing campaigns. The collaboration, announced today, aims to blend entertainment with consumer passions, marking an “unprecedented” leap in global reach and scale.
AB InBev, the powerhouse behind brands like Stella Artois, Corona, and Budweiser, has long sought to align its portfolio with consumer interests in sports, music, and culture. This new alliance with Netflix will feature a range of activations, including consumer events, title integrations, limited-edition packaging, and digital promotions tied to Netflix’s worldwide content slate.
Highlighted titles include The Gentlemen from the UK, Brasil 70 – A Saga do Tri from Brazil, and Culinary Class Wars from South Korea, offering diverse platforms for brand engagement.

The partnership extends AB InBev’s storied history of sports sponsorships, which last year saw it become the first official beer sponsor of the Olympics, a deal covering the 2028 LA Summer Games. Other notable tie-ins include Stella Artois with Wimbledon and Bud Light with UFC. Meanwhile, Netflix has been carving a niche in live sports, and this collaboration will see co-branded campaigns around events like the NFL Christmas gameday and the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
AB InBev’s Chief Marketing Officer, Marcel Marcondes, hailed the move, stating, “This partnership is an opportunity for our brands to create deeper experiences with consumers and more moments of cheers while they watch the content that shapes culture.”
The synergy promises to redefine how beer and entertainment intersect, keeping audiences engaged across continents. Industry watchers are eager to see how this fusion unfolds, with further details expected as activations roll out globally.
