Tasty Burger returned as the official burger of the Boston Red Sox for the 2026 season, resuming the Tasty Burger Red Sox partnership that originally ran from 2014 to 2020.
The deal places the regional Boston brand at several Fenway Park locations, including a flagship stand on the Big Concourse, a dedicated stand on the Third Base Deck and Jersey Street zone, as well as in-seat and in-suite service with an exclusive 'Big Tasty Burger' available in the latter.
The menu features the brand's main lineup: Hamburger, Cheeseburger and Chili Cheeseburger, along with in-store specials at Tasty Burger's four locations in Boston.
