Jason Kelce is transitioning from star NFL center to the center of Marriott Bonvoy.
Kelce retired last season after 13 years with the Philadelphia Eagles. He is a Super Bowl champion and is well-known for his podcast with his brother, Travis, who is dating Taylor Swift. In fact, the two brothers recently signed a $100 million contract to continue their New Heights podcast.
Now, for his first season off the field, Marriott Bonvoy and Courtyard by Marriott, the Official Hotel Partner of the NFL, announced that Kelce is joining their team as the first-ever ‘Fanbassador.’
Starting today, September 5, and continuing every Thursday throughout the entire NFL regular season, Jason Kelce will debut a new Marriott Bonvoy Moment, where Marriott Bonvoy members will have the opportunity to bid points for football-related experiences inspired by, and alongside, Kelce.
The ‘Moments’ will range from joining Kelce at a gameday pool party to having him pick your fantasy league loser’s punishment.
“During my playing days, I was able to see and experience first-hand the unrivaled passion of NFL fans. Now, finished playing, I could not be more excited to spend my first season as a full-time fan helping fuel those same passions by teaming up with Marriott Bonvoy and Courtyard by Marriott, the home of NFL fans everywhere,” Kelce said in a statement. “As the ‘Fanbassador,’ this collaboration is about celebrating all of the things that make NFL fans special and providing them opportunities to get closer to the game they love like never before. Let’s get this season started.”

The 2024 season was scheduled to begin Thursday night with a game between Kelse’s brother Travis, and the Kansas City Chiefs against the Baltimore Ravens.
Some highlight Moments that will drop throughout the season include:
- Pool Party with Jason Kelce (available for redemption and auction): For just 1 Marriott Bonvoy point, members can watch a game from the rooftop pool at a Courtyard by Marriott in Los Angeles with the NFL icon himself.
- Fantasy Football Punishment (available for auction): The joy of fantasy victory and agony of fantasy defeat are in the hands of the ‘Fanbassador’ himself.
- Mystery Moment (available for redemption): Show up at Courtyard by Marriott in Philly and find out what’s in store.
These are just a few of the ‘Moments’ that will take place and be available throughout the season, leading all the way to the Super Bowl in February in New Orleans.
“As a player, Jason Kelce inspired an entire generation of fans to pursue the game they love, and we could not think of a more perfect NFL fan to be the first-ever Marriott Bonvoy and Courtyard by Marriott ‘Fanbassador’ than him,” says Brian Povinelli, Marriott’s Senior Vice President, Global Head of Marketing and Brand. “Each of these experiences are set to ignite the same enthusiasm and love of the game that Jason embodies, creating unforgettable memories for our members and guests to pursue their passion for the game every single week of the season, all the way to Super Bowl LIX.”
