FaZe Clan has reignited its partnership with energy drink giant G FUEL in a multi-year, multi-million-dollar sponsorship and licensing deal. This collaboration marks the rekindling of a relationship deep rooted in the esports community, dating back to when FaZe Clan first partnered with G FUEL, long before their brief venture with the drinks brand GHOST in 2022.

Now under the strategic ownership of [GameSquare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamesquare), FaZe Clan is set to take this partnership with G FUEL to new heights. The deal goes beyond traditional sponsorship, encompassing a comprehensive strategy to co-create content and develop new products that resonate with their shared audience of gaming enthusiasts and esports fans.

The agreement is particularly significant as it marks the inaugural partnership deal secured by [FaZe Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xfinity-1), the organization’s newly established media arm. The FaZe Clan Subathon will see the iconic FaZe House rebranded as the '[FaZe G FUEL House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faze-clan-2),' a nostalgic tribute to their original partnership.
