Jersey sponsors are prominent across international soccer, the NWSL, WNBA, NBA, MLB and NHL, but the NHL also has helmet sponsors, an additional on-uniform partnership opportunity.
The NHL allowed teams to sell helmet sponsorships for the shortened 2020/21 COVID season to generate extra revenue. Like jersey patches, helmet partners are prominently shown in close shots and replays on broadcasts, as well as social media content with players in uniform.
Several seasons into this sponsorship program, most of the league has a partner logo on their helmets. For the 2025/26 NHL season, these are the current NHL team helmet partners.
Social media data is based on team Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube content during the 2023/24 regular season (10/4/24 – 4/17/25). Social value is calculated based on impressions, engagements and video views using industry standard CPM, CPE and CPV values. Follower count is combined Twitter, Instagram and Facebook followers at beginning of 2024/25 season.

31 out of 32 NHL teams have at least one helmet sponsor, proving just how popular and productive the asset is for teams and partners. For any uniform asset nearly 100% team participation is a strong sign, and now in its sixth season the NHL helmet sponsorship program has clearly been a success for the league.
