Boomerang Partners: Peak sports season creates key opportunities in the Golden Boomerang Awards Kickoff stage
From April 3 to June 9, Boomerang Partners is holding the first stage (Kickoff) of its annual affiliate traffic tournament, the Golden Boomerang Awards. Hundreds of affiliate teams from around the world are competing for unique sports-related experiences. The main prize for the first stage is a trip to the Wimbledon Championships from June 29 to July 12.
Strategic Importance of May
May is the most intense phase of the Kickoff stage in the Golden Boomerang Awards 2026. The concentration of major sporting events during this period creates the highest volume of opportunities to generate traffic and accumulate points.
The tournament is structured around key moments in the sports calendar, allowing participants to align their campaigns with peak audience interest. In practice, this means that late April and May – and May in particular – offer significantly more potential compared to quieter periods.
This is where consistency becomes critical. With multiple high-profile events running in parallel, teams need to maintain a steady pace and work across several sports to stay competitive.
As a result, May is set to determine the direction of the leaderboard. Teams that stay active can move into top positions, while any slowdown during this period can quickly push teams behind, at a stage when competition is at its most intense.
Key sporting events in late April and May
Late April and May bring a high concentration of major sporting events across different disciplines. The period includes the NHL and NBA playoffs, as well as the decisive stages of European football competitions – with the UEFA Champions League final on May 30, the UEFA Europa League final on May 20, and the UEFA Conference League final on May 27.
At the same time, domestic football seasons are coming to an end across Italy, England, Germany, France, and Spain, while the KHL playoffs and the IIHF World Championship (May 15–31) keep audience attention high throughout the month.
Other key events during this period include the World Team Table Tennis Championships in London (April 28–May 10) and Roland Garros in Paris (May 18–June 7).
The Solution: Tools for the Marathon
Late April and May are not the time to spread traffic evenly. Most of the value comes from key match days and decisive stages of major tournaments, when attention and online betting activity spike.
With the volume of events during this period, the calendar becomes harder to navigate. Teams that are newer to the vertical often miss important moments or don’t fully use the calendar, simply because it’s not always clear where the real peaks are.
To address this, earlier this year Boomerang Partners introduced the Sports Marketing & Betting Calendar 2026 – a practical guide based on internal data. It helps affiliate teams navigate the season, identify key events, and plan campaigns around periods that actually drive results.
In practice, this comes down to timing. Teams that align their activity with these peaks can get more out of the same traffic, while those who treat the period as a regular month often fall behind.
Liliia Sudachenko, Affiliate Team Lead at Boomerang Partners, commented: “2026 is a major year for sports, and May stands out as one of the busiest months in the calendar. Affiliate teams participating in the third season of the Golden Boomerang Awards can benefit from analyzing both current and upcoming tournaments to build a more precise strategy. Each peak in the sports calendar is not just additional traffic, but a real opportunity to strengthen positions in the leaderboard”.
Why May matters for the stage outcome
Affiliate teams that haven’t yet joined the third season of the Golden Boomerang Awards 2026 should not waste any time. The first stage of the tournament continues through June 9, and every point earned in May will count toward the stage result. All interested affiliates can register and start competing for valuable prizes and unique experiences on the GBA website.

Boomerang Partners, an Official Regional Partner of AC Milan, has delivered the main prize of its completed TIME TO WIN affiliate tournament. It ran from February 12 to March 31, 2026, with 57 affiliate teams taking part. Two winning teams travelled to Milan for a three-day programme built around the Club. The winners attended AC Milan v Juventus at San Siro Stadium, visited Casa Milan and the Mondo Milan Museum, and completed the trip with an exclusive visit to Milanello Sports Centre powered by Clivet.
Matchday at San Siro opened the three-day programme
The programme began on April 26 with AC Milan v Juventus at San Siro Stadium. The winning teams arrived at the stadium ahead of kick-off and were met by an AC Milan representative, who guided the group through the matchday process.
Before the match, the guests were taken to the pitchside area to watch the teams warming up. The partners had time to take photos and videos from close to the field. After the warm-up, they watched the match from their seats and experienced the atmosphere of one of the key fixtures of the Serie A calendar. The group also had access to the hospitality lounge with food and drinks before and during the match.
Inside Casa Milan: history, trophies, and hospitality
On April 27, the programme continued at Casa Milan, where the group joined a guided Mondo Milan Museum tour in English. The tour covered AC Milan’s history, trophies, and key achievements, giving partners more context after the matchday experience at San Siro Stadium.
After the Mondo Milan Museum tour, the winners had time to visit the Casa Milan Store. The hospitality part of the day continued with snacks and drinks arranged for the group. The partners also received AC Milan shirts, which became a pleasant surprise during the visit.
The final day brought winners to Milanello
On April 28, the winners visited Milanello Sports Centre powered by Clivet, AC Milan’s legendary training base. The group was welcomed in the hospitality area before starting a tour of the facility, including the training fields and facilities used by the team.
Daniele Massaro, Club Ambassador and former AC Milan player, also joined the group at Milanello. He spoke with the guests and signed autographs. After the tour, the partners watched the team training session and joined an autograph session with the players. They also had time to speak with them, take photos, and have AC Milan shirts signed.
For the winning teams, Milanello was the strongest part of the programme. It gave them access to a setting usually closed to the public and direct contact with the Club, its players, and its training environment.
Liliia Sudachenko, Affiliate Team Lead at Boomerang Partners, who joined the winners during the trip, commented: “The trip went very well, and the feedback from partners was extremely positive. The programme was rich and very well organized, but balanced enough for everyone to enjoy all three days in Milan without feeling exhausted. The strongest emotions came from the pitchside access before AC Milan v Juventus, the warm-up at San Siro, the visit to Milanello, and the opportunity to meet the players, take photos, and get autographs. For us, the main result was stronger relationships with partners and a higher level of trust in Boomerang Partners. Everyone genuinely enjoyed the time in Milan, and for us that reaction was the best confirmation of the value of this prize.”
