Paris-based esports organisation Team Vitality has announced a one-year sponsorship deal with ExpressVPN, naming the digital privacy company an official partner.
The agreement will cover Team Vitality’s main competitive titles in Europe, including the flagship Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) roster, and promote activations throughout the season aimed at players and fans. According to both parties, the collaboration seeks to raise awareness of online security while offering practical benefits for the esports community.
ExpressVPN operates in more than 180 countries and has been expanding its presence in gaming and esports. The company is also a partner of the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) 2025.

Commenting on the partnership, Nicolas Maurer, CEO and Co-Founder of Team Vitality, said: “We are thrilled to welcome ExpressVPN as one of our official partners. As Team Vitality strengthens its position as a leader in global esports, working with a recognised digital security brand like ExpressVPN perfectly aligns with our mission to serve our international community.”
Zac Eller, GM of Global Partnerships at ExpressVPN, added: “We’re excited to squad up with Team Vitality, one of the most competitive and successful organisations in esports. Like Vitality’s players, we’re focused on keeping the win streak going, whether that’s protecting against DDoS attacks, securing fast and stable connections, or giving gamers a free pick to play wherever they are.”
Supporters of Team Vitality can already access a 14-day free trial of ExpressVPN through a dedicated platform. Additional activations and campaigns are expected to run across the year as part of the partnership.
The agreement follows another recent commercial move from Team Vitality, which in July announced a multi-year partnership with betting platform Stake.
