“We are thrilled to partner with a storied team like the LA Kings and become a part of the passionate hockey community here in Los Angeles,” said Mike Price, President and CEO of Nissin Foods USA. “We believe in collaborating with like-minded brands and organizations that are committed to supporting and serving the communities where we operate. LA has been our home for over 50 years, and as Cup Noodles hits the NHL ice for the first time, it’s exciting to see two iconic brands join together this season.”

As an official partner of the LA Kings, and Ontario Reign, Cup Noodles will engage fans as a title night sponsor of one regular season game at each team’s home venue. This will include “LA Kings Japanese Heritage Night presented by Cup Noodles,” on January 9 when the LA Kings take on the Edmonton Oilers at Crypto.com Arena. During the game, Cup Noodles will pay homage to its Japanese heritage while honoring local Japanese Americans in the Los Angeles community hosting numerous game-day experiences, including special giveaways and exclusive programs, for thousands of LA Kings fans to enjoy. Additionally, Cup Noodles will sponsor the Ontario Reign’s World Cup Night on November 26 when the team takes on the Tuscon Road Runners at Toyota Arena.

Nissin Foods' founder Momofuku Ando invented the world's first instant noodles, Chicken Ramen, in 1958. Since then, Nissin has pioneered a range of instant noodles worldwide, including iconic brands Cup Noodles and Top Ramen. Headquartered in Gardena, California, Nissin Foods USA is proud to support the Los Angeles community through its Good Neighbor initiative. This includes regular food drives, working closely with the LA Regional Food Bank and City of Gardena Food Bank, and its annual Good Neighbor Scholarship program recognizing the successes and community efforts of students in the surrounding cities that Nissin Food operates. This new partnership will expand the brand’s presence and will allow the company to introduce some of the most passionate and highly engaged NHL and AHL fans in the area to its new and existing products.

“We are proud to introduce our fans to Cup Noodles, a global industry icon and best-in-class leader, whose revolutionary approach to food compliments our commitment to innovation in sports and live entertainment,” said Josh Veilleux, Senior Vice President, AEG Global Partnerships. “A like-minded partner, they share our ongoing desire to deliver value, continually create memorable experiences and most importantly give back to the people and communities we both serve across Southern California.”

As part of the partnership, Cup Noodles will enjoy an enhanced brand presence across both teams’ home venues and digital media channels. As an LA Kings partner, Cup Noodles’ branding will be showcased during all LA Kings regular season home games at Crypto.com Arena with digitally enhanced dasherboards on the broadcasts as well as with rotational LED stadium ribbon board signage in-arena. Additionally, Cup Noodles’ products will be included in a special “Hot Ones™” in-arena feature during a forthcoming LA Kings game at Crypto.com Arena. As part of the in-arena feature, which will take place during the game, one participating fan in attendance will have a special opportunity to try select Cup Noodles items, win prizes and participate in an exclusive spicy food tasting challenge.

This new relationship builds on Cup Noodles’ growing roster of partnerships with major sports teams around the world and support of the larger Los Angeles community.
