Burnley confirm investment from Dude Perfect
August 9, 2023
Dude Perfect, the leading sports and entertainment group, have today confirmed their investment in Burnley Football Club, as the Clarets prepare for their Premier League return in 2023/24.
The group, made up of Garrett Hilbert, Tyler Toney, Cody Jones and Coby and Cory Cotton, will formalise their involvement in the Club’s ownership group, having been revealed earlier this month as the official shirt partner for 2023/24 junior retail shirts and academy teams.
Since meeting at Texas A&M University, Dude Perfect have gone on to amass over 59 million YouTube subscribers and almost 16 billion YouTube views since launching their channel 14 years ago.
Speaking about their investment in Burnley, which follows the news earlier this year that ex-NFL star JJ Watt and his wife, former USWNT player Kealia were joining the Clarets family, Garrett Hilbert from Dude Perfect said:
“We’ve been fans of the Premier League for some time, so we’re excited to formalise the relationship with Burnley and hopefully help to introduce a bunch of younger fans to the club.
“What Vincent and the guys achieved last year was incredible and it’s a really exciting time to be a Burnley fan. We also spoke to JJ multiple times and his passion and ideas for how we can help grow to the club and create Burnley fans for life really excited us – we’re planning to be in town for the Manchester City game this month and we can’t wait to meet everyone.”
Alan Pace, Chairman of Burnley FC, added:
“We’re delighted to formally welcome Dude Perfect into the Clarets family and this is another exciting step on our journey as we prepare for the 2023/24 season. The guys have shown a huge interest and passion in the club, its history and our community. I’m excited by the opportunities that this partnership will bring as we continue to attract new fans and showcase the Burnley brand to a global audience.”
