SPORT BEACH is back and bigger than ever, now the first official sport partner of The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. For the third consecutive year, TEAM and Stagwell continue to collaborate on uniting the world’s biggest marketers, athletes and global leaders for conversation around every facet of sport.
The success and global impact of previous SPORT BEACH events led to Stagwell expanding the festival event into a year-round platform.
Earlier this year SPORT BEACH Clubhouses launched at SXSW, Super Bowl LIX, and the World Economic Forum, inviting senior decision makers to join the world’s best athletes in meaningful conversations.
World-class athletes like Carmelo Anthony, Sue Bird, Tara Davis-Woodhall, and Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson aren’t the only partners SPORT BEACH is drafting for 2025. Channel Factory, The Chicago Bulls, Clio Sports, Microsoft Advertising, NBCUniversal, and Meta are just a few of the many brand partners also on the SPORT BEACH 2025 roster. Game time for SPORT BEACH 2025 is June 16th – 19th at La Plague du Festival.

Cannes 2025 wasn't about who shouted the loudest—it was about who felt the realest. The biggest winners? Brands that ditched polish for presence, traded spectacle for intimacy, and showed up with soul, strangeness, and sport-fueled strategy.
Chief Experience Officer Paul Ramirez and Goodles co-founder Paul Earle unpacked how bold naming, sharp copy, and unapologetic weirdness turned mac & cheese into a fan-first movement that AI can’t replicate.
SPORT BEACH returns in 2025 as the first official sport partner of Cannes Lions, with TEAM helping Stagwell driving its expansion into a global, year-round platform that brings together top athletes, brands, and marketing leaders.
