Thompson's tackles Super League as official partner for 2025 season

Weatherproofing brand, Thompson’s, will launch an official partnership with the Super League at the Magic Weekend in Newcastle – and will be offering fans the chance to win tickets to the Grand Final at Old Trafford in October. 

Thompson’s, part of the Sherwin-Williams family, offers a range of weatherproofing and cleaning products, such as its One Coat Water Seal and Emergency Roof Seal, allowing users to quickly and easily tackle problems around their homes or sites.

For the 2025 Super League season, the brand has announced that it will be an official partner as part of a major ‘Tackle it with Thompson’s’ campaign, which will be seen across trade and consumer markets - and which also includes a tie-up with The Home Improvements Channel.

The Magic Weekend sees an action-packed weekend of Rugby League, with all 12 Super League clubs playing an entire round of fixtures over two days at the iconic St James’ Park in Newcastle. A brilliant event, known for its vibrant fan zone where supporters can congregate before and after their teams’ fixtures have been played, over 60,000 people are expected to pass through across the weekend.

The season then culminates in the Grand Final, which has been hosted at Old Trafford since 1998, with the two best teams facing off for the chance to lift the Super League trophy – with reigning champions Wigan Warriors aiming to complete a hat-trick of titles in 2025.

At the Magic Weekend, Thompson’s is looking to capture the attention of game goers, with a fun challenge. Clara Dursent, Brand Manager, Sherwin-Williams UK Limited, explains more.

“We’re delighted to be an official partner of the Super League for the 2025 season. The Magic Weekend and Grand Final are two of the most exciting dates in the 2025 calendar and we can’t wait to be involved. We really wanted to encapsulate the ethos of the Thompson’s brand, ‘Tackle it with Thompson’s’, something that aligns well with Rugby League as a sport.  

“To support this, we will have a branded tackle-o-meter in the fan zone at the Magic Weekend, allowing visitors to log their own high score for the chance to win a prize – including a pair of tickets to the Grand Final at Old Trafford in Manchester! So, we encourage fans to make their way over to our area in the fan zone and test their grit for the chance to win this amazing prize.” 

Bobby Bahadori, Commercial Director, Rugby League Commercial, said: “We are delighted to welcome Thompson’s to Rugby League in 2025 for the Magic Weekend and the Grand Final – and I think our fans are going to love the tackle-o-meter.

“It’s exactly the sort of activation which helps to make Magic Weekend such a unique event in sport, with fans of all clubs coming together in Newcastle and enjoying the whole experience, as well as supporting their team.”
