Magic earn NBA’s international strategy award for 2nd straight season
For the second straight year, the Magic received the NBA ‘s team international strategy award as part of the league’s team partnership and ticket sales & service awards for the 2025-26 season, it was announced Tuesday afternoon. The award “recognizes robust, data-driven programs that support partner positioning and grow the team brand globally or in a specific international region,” according to the league. After earning the league-wide recognition last year, the Magic executed an extensive strategy in Germany that extended far beyond Orlando ‘s regular-season game against the Grizzlies in Berlin. The multi-phase approach included “an in-market summer tour, an immersive fan hub called ‘Magic Kiez,’ youth basketball clinics, business summits, watch parties, and integrated activations with multiple partners across Germany,” the team said.
