TCL, a leading global technology brand, has officially entered into a worldwide partnership with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), becoming the exclusive Worldwide Olympic Games and Paralympic Partner in the Home Audiovisual Equipment and Home Appliances category. This collaboration underscores TCL’s commitment to innovation and excellence on the world’s biggest sporting stage.

As part of the agreement, TCL will play a crucial role in advancing audiovisual technology for the Olympic Games. The brand will supply cutting-edge display solutions for event venues and equip the Olympic Village with state-of-the-art appliances designed to enhance the experience for athletes. These innovations include smart displays, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, door locks, audio systems, projectors, and the TCL RayNeo smart glasses.

Beyond infrastructure support, TCL will contribute to the ongoing “Athlete Moments” initiative, which allows competitors to connect with their loved ones immediately after their events. This initiative highlights the brand’s dedication to enriching the Olympic experience for athletes and fans alike.

The partnership further cements TCL’s global influence, offering extensive brand exposure through Olympic-related marketing campaigns and activations. Recognising TCL’s strong reputation for pioneering AV technology, the IOC selected the company as a key partner for both the Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games. With operations spanning 46 R&D centres, 38 manufacturing bases, and sales in over 160 countries, TCL’s global reach aligns seamlessly with the Olympic movement’s expansive audience.

The official announcement took place at Beijing’s renowned Ice Cube venue, where IOC President Thomas Bach expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: “The IOC is thrilled to welcome TCL as a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner. As a global leader in home entertainment and appliances, TCL’s vision to ‘Inspire Greatness’ resonates deeply with the Olympic spirit.”

Li Dongsheng, Founder and Chairman of TCL, also highlighted the significance of the partnership: “We are honoured to support the Olympic Games as a Worldwide Partner. This partnership allows us to showcase our cutting-edge innovations on the global stage while reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.”
