CLEMSON — Clemson Ventures has announced an agreement with Progressive Insurance, highlighting Progressive’s continued investment in college athletics. The sponsorship amplifies Progressive’s previously announced collaboration with a number of football’s biggest brands. The alliance brings the brand to several universities, connecting with millions of passionate fans through the traditions and excitement of college football.

The agreement places Progressive at the center of the college football game day experience at Clemson’s Memorial Stadium, including field-level brand exposure, in-game videoboard features, LED signage, digital and social media integrations.

“Clemson Football consistently ranks among the most engaged and sponsor-receptive fans in the country,” said Michael Drake, CEO of Clemson Ventures. “We are excited for a premier national brand like Progressive to create meaningful connections with our students and fans before kickoff, throughout the game and beyond the final whistle.”

“College football is about more than what happens on game day – it reflects the pride, tradition and community that defines Clemson and we’re proud to support the student-athletes, alumni and fans who help make this program so special,” said Sean Freeman, Media Business Leader at Progressive.  “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of game days with this historic fanbase.”

Progressive’s branding and integrated marketing elements at Clemson will debut with the start of the 2026 home football schedule as Clemson kicks off on September 12 against Georgia Southern at 7:30 p.m. on ACC Network.
