• Fans of both brands can be in for the chance to win the exclusive six-pack and the jersey via the Heinz Instagram

AMSTERDAM, June 12, 2026– For more than a century, HEINZ and Heineken^® have played a role in bringing people together… around tables, in front of screens, at events, and beyond. Now the two iconic brands have officially come together to celebrate a connection of their own — giving everyone the match we’ve all been waiting for.

An iconic limited edition six pack featuring five Heineken^® beers and one bottle of Heinz Tomato Ketchup. This is an official collaboration between two brands whose connection has been sitting in plain sight for 150 years.

Whilst brand collaborations are nothing new, this one was set side by side in the name itself… a detail that’s hard to ignore once you’ve seen it, and one that makes this feel less like a new idea, and more like something that was always bound to happen. An unexpected but obvious partnership.

Because whilst the world often leans into rivalries… especially at times like this… some pairings never really play that game. In fact, sometimes they are even better together.

Karen Owen, Chief Growth Officer at HEINZ Europe and Pacific, said, “For 150 years, HEINZ and Heineken have been part of the moments that bring people together. This summer, we’re making it official. From the irrational love that inspires our fans to go ‘all in’ to our shared commitment to quality, this partnership may be our most rational one yet.”

Nabil Nasser, Global Head of Brand Heineken^®, added, “Heineken has always been about sparking fresh connections. This collaboration is a reminder that even the most unlikely pairings can feel completely natural when they’re part of shared moments – it’s the match we’ve all been waiting for… as unexpected as it might be.”

With collaborations becoming more and more exclusive, these two beloved brands have created something that everyone can get their hands on. Consumers can create their own Heinz x Heineken^® DIY six-pack, offering a simple, official take on a pairing that’s been around for years.

And if you want to get your hands on the six-pack and an exclusive Heinz x Heineken jersey, stay tuned to the Heinz Instagram for the upcoming giveaway.
