CME Group Named as First-Ever Chicago White Sox Jersey-Patch Sponsor

The Chicago White Sox today announced a multiyear agreement establishing CME Group, the world’s leading derivatives marketplace, as the team’s inaugural jersey patch sponsor and Official Global Exchange partner. 

“Partnering with a team known for grit, achievement and perseverance is a natural fit with the CME Group brand, and we are pleased to become the first jersey-patch sponsor of the Chicago White Sox,” said CME Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Terry Duffy. “In our own ways, both of our organizations are strong contributors to the greater Chicago community. Yet our reach goes well beyond the city we share, appealing to key constituents around the world. The White Sox are reaching younger, broader and increasingly global audiences, as evidenced by the league’s record revenue and increasing viewership. CME Group is similarly expanding into new markets and client segments, particularly in retail. Together, we’ll deliver a compelling experience that appeals to our current and prospective clients while elevating both brands.”
 
“Throughout this process, we understood the importance and significance of joining forces with a Chicago-based partner whose brand we would literally be sporting every day,” said Brooks Boyer, White Sox chief revenue and marketing officer. “The White Sox uniform designs represent so much to our organization, our fans and Chicago, and a bold partnership with CME Group—a Chicago-born company with a global footprint—was a perfect fit. Our organizations share a mentality that is built on ambition, pride and a strong work ethic, and this jersey patch is more than branding; it reinforces the power of Chicago both here at home and around the world.” 

The team will debut the uniform when Cactus League play begins on Friday, February 20 when the White Sox take on the Chicago Cubs at 2:05 p.m. CST. The team will wear it for the first time in the 2026 regular season during the opener in Milwaukee on Thursday, March 26 at 1:10 p.m. CST and again for the home opener against Toronto on Thursday, April 2 at 3:10 p.m. CST at Rate Field.
