Boomerang Partners prepares a major affiliates activation, TIME TO WIN, as the Year of Sports enters its hot phase
As the global sports season enters one of its peaks, Boomerang Partners is preparing a move designed to attract the full attention of affiliate teams. The company has released a teaser video featuring players of its Official Regional Partner, AC Milan. Thus, it hints at the upcoming launch of TIME TO WIN – an exclusive activation for affiliates.
Not a standard campaign
While full details remain undisclosed, the first glimpse of TIME TO WIN has already set the tone. In the teaser video, AC Milan stars Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Alexis Saelemaekers, Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, and Rafael Leão stop short of revealing anything beyond two signals: TIME TO WIN and Save the date. One thing is already clear: this is not a standard campaign or a one-off activation. Based on our insights, it will be a project built at the intersection of elite sport, affiliate expertise, and a deep understanding of peak interest in major sports events, where speed of execution, precise timing, and strategic readiness define results. Designed with these factors in mind, TIME TO WIN reflects Boomerang Partners’ long-term approach to supporting affiliate partners during the most competitive phases of the sports calendar.
A partnership with one of football’s most iconic clubs
The connection with AC Milan is no coincidence. As Boomerang Partners’ Official Regional Partner, the Club is an integral part of the TIME TO WIN concept, lending its world-class sporting prestige and global reach. This collaboration allows affiliate teams to engage with one of the most recognized football brands in the world, combining the excitement of top-level football with marketing opportunities designed for peak performance.
Through this partnership, Boomerang Partners and AC Milan are preparing a series of initiatives throughout the season, including exclusive experiences, high-impact campaigns, and the launch of the AC Milan Hub – a unique portal providing centralized access to all the activities related to the Boomerang and AC Milan partnership.
Preparation is key
While we don’t yet know exactly what Boomerang Partners will launch on February 12th, we believe the company’s Sports Marketing & Betting Calendar 2026 will assist partners in this regard. This expert guide enables affiliate teams to prepare ahead of the hottest moments of the sports season and make more informed decisions when it matters most.
A peak period for affiliates
The timing of this activation is no coincidence. February and March mark one of the peak periods of the sports season, with major events such as the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds, men’s basketball World Cup Qualifiers, and top-tier tennis tournaments like the Indian Wells Masters and the Miami Open. For affiliate teams, these weeks require careful planning, timely campaign setup, and fast execution. This is exactly the time when participation in TIME TO WIN offers a strategic advantage.
What affiliates can expect
Participation in TIME TO WIN offers affiliate teams a chance to engage with one of the most anticipated initiatives of the 2026 sports season. While full details remain under wraps, the scale and ambition of the activation are already clear: it will be a high-impact, exclusive opportunity that affiliates won’t want to miss.
So what’s coming next? The answer will be revealed on February 12, when full details of the TIME TO WIN activation go live on the Boomerang Partners website. Stay tuned.
