Stanford Athletics and Fortinet announce multi-year sponsorship

Stanford Athletics has announced a multi-year sponsorship agreement with Fortinet, the global cybersecurity company. The deal will see Fortinet branding across Stanford’s athletics venues, including naming rights to the Director’s Level premium hospitality area at football home games.

Fortinet said the sponsorship supports its long-standing commitment to the Bay Area community and builds on ties between the two organisations, including founder Ken Xie’s connection to Stanford as an alumnus. The partnership begins with the 2026-27 academic year and covers multiple sports including football, baseball, basketball, soccer, softball and volleyball.

The agreement was supported by Elevate, which worked with Stanford Athletics to bring it to life.
