Keia Clarke, Chief Executive Officer, for New York Liberty states “As the landscape of women’s sports evolves, we remain committed to partnering with value-aligned companies that understand the impact of women’s sports. We are thrilled to partner with Bumble to provide unique opportunities for our fans and the New York community.”

By supporting the Liberty, Bumble not only champions female athletes but also sets a new benchmark for impactful collaborations in women’s sports, driving both engagement and inclusivity.
