There is a big blowout for Pepsi as they are out of the Super Bowl half-time show. NFL and Pepsi recently renewed their sponsorship deal which lets them keep the sponsorship, but they won’t be sponsoring the Super Bowl Half Time Show.

Following the NFL’s spring meeting in Atlanta, the drink and snack firm formally extended its almost four-decade agreement with the league. The extension was approved by team owners, allowing Pepsi to use NFL premium rights for its products like Frito Lay and Tostitos.

Pepsi and the NFL will also launch a Gatorade pre-workout beverage for players this fall. By 2023, consumers should be able to purchase them.

Pepsi’s new contract got renewed on unknown terms. According to reports, their last agreement was worth $2 billion over ten years.
