NEW YORK, March 5, 2021 – The Clorox Company, a global leader in public health and disinfection, and the National Basketball Association (NBA) today announced a multiyear agreement that makes Clorox® the Official Cleaning Partner of the NBA and Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). The multiyear agreement allows for ongoing collaboration with Clorox in promoting health and safety during NBA and WNBA games and events, including the upcoming 2021 NBA All-Star Game in Atlanta on March 7, where the cleaning brand will supply disinfecting products.

“Clorox is committed to helping people feel confident outside of the home as we get back to the activities, we all know and love,” said Heath Rigsby, Vice President of Out of Home at The Clorox Company. “We’re proud to continue our work with the NBA using our expertise in disinfection to help create a cleaner and safer experience for everyone from fans to arena staff to players, now and into the future.”
