Asian American Sports Fans becoming attractive Marketing Targets
Jun. 30th, 2025 04:10 pm8asians_feed
Asian American sports fans are becoming attractive marketing targets. Asian Americans spend 15% more time viewing live sports than the general public according to a Nielsen report. Given that most sports marketing efforts are targeted at live sports and that Asian Americans have an estimated $1.4 trillion in buying power, marketing to Asian American sports fans can be potentially very lucrative. This attention sounds great – the opposite of invisibility. Still, some Asian American sports marketing efforts have met with controversy.
The Nielsen report says that increased representation in high visibility sports is one driver for increased sports viewership. Examples include Shohei Ohtani in the World Series, the NCAA Women’s Basketball Champion, and the WNBA Draft. Kaitlyn Chen played on the NCAA Women’s champion team Connecticut, and along with Te-Hina Paopao, was drafted in the 2025 WNBA draft.
Some sports teams like the Golden State Warriors market heavily to Asian Americans. John covered many Asian Heritage nights at Warriors’ games, along with a Japanese Heritage night and even a Lunar New Celebration. The Warriors have held not one but two Filipino Heritage nights this year! The Warriors’ and Golden State Valkyries‘ home arena at Chase features Filipino food such as Senor Sisig and The Sarap Shop.
Asian American marketing efforts can generate controversy. Some fans are unhappy that the Golden State Valkyries used the draft of Kaitlyn Chen for marketing purposes and then cut her. Valkyries, with the same ownership as the Golden State Warriors, have been outrageously successful by most standards. Joe Lacob’s $50 million buy-in for the expansion has bloomed into a franchise valued at $500 million. The Valkyries have already blown away expansion team win records and their ticket sale goals. Chen has returned to the Valkyries for the moment. When she finally did play and went to the bench, the crowd chanted “put Chen back in.”
The 2025 Nielsen report also discusses how Asian Americans are tech trends leaders and significant retail influencers. Access the whole report here.
