MK Lightning are proud to confirm a new Platinum Sponsorship agreement with MERKUR Casino Milton Keynes for the 2025/26 season.

As part of the partnership, the MERKUR Milton Keynes Casino logo will feature prominently on the players’ short covers throughout the campaign, as well as branding on the Away Bench at Planet Ice Milton Keynes.

The announcement comes ahead of the highly anticipated opening of the brand-new MERKUR Casino at Xscape Milton Keynes on 1 November 2025. The venue will offer a cutting-edge entertainment experience in the heart of the city, featuring a brand-new multi-screen sports bar. The new space will offer food and drink and feature multiple large screens showing all major live sports, creating a lively social hub for fans to gather and enjoy the action together.

 “We’re thrilled to welcome MERKUR Casino Milton Keynes to the Lightning family as a Platinum Sponsor. Their commitment to bringing entertainment and energy makes them a fantastic partner for the season ahead.”

MERKUR Casino UK’s chief executive office Mark Schertle, said: “It’s really exciting for us to be partnering with MK Lightning, and supporting a professional team that plays locally. As we prepare to open the doors to our brand new casino at Xscape Milton Keynes, it is great to support the Lightning. We’re really looking forward to cheering the team on through the season and it’s great to be able to play a part in contributing to the sporting scene here in Milton Keynes.

One of the values we hold at MERKUR, is that we always look to give back to the communities in which we operate in. Whether this is through our charity initiative programme or sponsorships, it is always extremely rewarding to see the MERKUR sun proudly displayed.”
