CLEVELAND, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kurv, a leading payments platform, today announced a partnership with the Cleveland Browns ahead of the team’s 2026 season. Kurv will sponsor the regular season backdrop during the Browns weekly player and coach interviews as part of their renewal agreement. This partnership builds on Kurv’s continued presence throughout the Cleveland community and marks the latest chapter in its relationship with the Browns.

Over the past several years, Kurv has worked with the team on several community-building initiatives, including serving as the presenting partner for the Browns Give Back First and Ten Toy Drive.

The annual Toy Drive, a benefit for Toys for Tots typically held at a December home game, brings together Kurv employees and the Marines to collect toys from fans entering the stadium. Historically, Kurv has made an additional financial donation each year as well as staffing the event with its employees and family members. For their latest philanthropic collaboration, Kurv served as an official sponsor of the annual Taste of the Browns, benefiting the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, on September 14th.

“Not only are we fans of the team, but Kurv is honored to be a Proud Partner of the Cleveland Browns,” said Afshin Yazdian, Executive Chairman and CEO of Kurv. “This partnership is built on our desire to support the community and is based on our mutual respect, admiration, and our shared commitment to giving back to the city of Cleveland.”

“Our longstanding partnership with Kurv is built on a shared connection and commitment to Cleveland,” said Erica Muhleman, Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships for the Browns. “Kurv’s support for the Browns, and the people and fans that make up our communities, is indicative of a longstanding commitment to everyone in Northeast Ohio. We look forward to continuing our partnership in meaningful ways.”

Throughout the Browns’ 2026 season, fans will be able to view Kurv-branded backdrops during interviews Wednesday through Friday located at the CrossCountry Mortgage Campus.
