Ohio State has entered into a sponsorship deal with JPMorganChase , which will now sponsor each of the Buckeyes ' 36 varsity sports beginning in 2026-27.
Though terms of the deal were not discussed in the university's release, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports the terms to be worth nearly $17 million annually . As part of the deal, Ohio State jerseys and uniforms will feature a jersey patch of the Chase Bank logo.

— Ohio State Buckeyes 🌰 (@OhioStAthletics) July 28, 2026 "JPMorganChase is a global brand with deep roots in Ohio, making them a natural partner that shares our commitment to innovation, excellence and long-term community impact," Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork said in a statement. "Together, we have built a comprehensive and historic partnership that reflects the strong commercial strength of the Ohio State Athletics identity and the broader college athletics landscape.
"This relationship creates meaningful opportunities for our student-athletes that support the sustained excellence and competitiveness of our athletic programs, while honoring the tradition and values of Ohio State."
The NCAA in January approved a rule allowing two corporate patches on team logos. Apart from the Buckeyes' Big Ten logo, which is affixed to every jersey and uniform among Big Ten member schools, they also have Nike and Chase Bank logos.
It is not the only sponsorship deal the university has in place. In 2022, Ohio State entered into a naming rights deal with Safelite to sponsor Ohio Stadium.
