Sports Partnerships

Rogers and OEG Sports & Entertainment extended their strategic partnership on 8 September 2026.

Media Engagements

On 8 September 2026, Rogers organized a media‑only red‑carpet event in Yorkville, Toronto, to promote its brand and showcase film projections and musical performances. The event coincided with the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) opening week (10–13 September), providing media outlets with shooting opportunities. Additionally, a media advisory and photo‑b‑roll opportunity were issued on the same day to support coverage of the festival and Rogers’ participation.

Market Context

Rogers’ recent debt issuance and content expansion occur amid broader market activity in the telecommunications sector. While other issuers, such as Dell Technologies, are raising large bond offerings to refinance debt, Rogers’ focused $1.6 billion note issuance is part of a targeted capital strategy aimed at supporting its operational and growth initiatives.
