The Australian Commonwealth Games Team has officially partnered with premium outdoor brand YETI, which has been appointed as an Official Supplier for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.
This collaboration focuses on integrating high-performance hydration and cooling solutions into the team’s operational setup, ensuring that athletes and officials are equipped with durable gear throughout the tournament. The agreement marks a strategic alignment between the team’s requirements for elite-level performance and YETI’s reputation for rugged, high-quality manufacturing.
As part of the partnership, Australian athletes and support staff will receive custom-branded 36oz Rambler Bottles and 10oz Rambler Tumblers. Furthermore, the team’s medical and nutrition departments will utilise YETI’s Tundra Haul wheeled coolers and Hopper Flip soft coolers to manage performance healthcare and supplies on the sidelines.
Commenting on the partnership, Australian Team Chef de Mission, Petria Thomas OAM OLY, said: “YETI’s commitment to durability and reusability aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability, and these products will play a meaningful role in supporting our athletes and officials at the Games.”
“Hydration is a critical part of performance, and YETI’s high‑quality products will give our Team one less thing to worry about as they prepare for Glasgow 2026 – we’re very grateful for YETI’s support and to be able to provide our team members with their world leading products, items that will be used long after the Games,” Thomas said.
Noting that the values of the brand mirror those of the competing athletes, YETI marketing manager for Australia and New Zealand, Greg Cleveland, added: “Supporting the Australian Team is a natural fit for YETI and we’re thrilled to partner with them ahead of Glasgow 2026 at such an exciting time for sport in Australia.”
“The athletes embody resilience, grit and a spirit of adventure, values that mirror our own.
“We look forward to support the Australian Team in Glasgow and excited to stand behind them as they compete on the international stage,” Cleveland said.
Beyond athletic support, the partnership reinforces the team’s commitment to the Commonwealth Sport’s Clean Ocean Plastics Campaign. By equipping the team with reusable, high-quality alternatives to single-use plastics, the initiative contributes to the broader goal of preventing one million pieces of plastic from entering Commonwealth waterways.
The Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games will take place from 23 July to 2 August 2026.
