In January 2022, while discussing the importance of having sponsorships, Brandon Nakashima said, “Tennis is such an expensive sport, so the support from sponsors definitely helps a lot. It puts you in a good position out there. You’re not having to worry about the financial side as much as maybe if you didn’t have them.” He also added, “You have a team around you that gives guidance on your journey, but ultimately most of the decisions are up to you and how you play out there. It’s tough compared to other sports, but it’s good for maturing and the tennis afterlife.” 

Brandon Nakashima and FILA, the Seoul-based South Korean athleisure brand, agreed to a sponsorship in March 2020. Nakashima routinely appears wearing the brand’s clothing and footwear during his matches. Then, in early 2023, he signed a racket contract with Yonex. He currently plays with a Yonex Ezone 98 racket.
