This year’s US Open is set to serve up more than just world-class tennis; it will also be a stage for Heineken® 0.0’s exciting new campaign, L0VE.L0VE. As a nod to the 0-0 tennis score known as “love,” Heineken® is bringing its leading zero-alcohol beer to fans in a way only Heineken® can, blending the love for moderation with the thrill of tennis.
From August 19 to September 8, fans attending the US Open will have the exclusive opportunity to experience Heineken’s limited edition L0VE.L0VE Heineken® 0.0 packaging. This special run will transform Heineken® 0.0 into a visual badge of both moderation and racket sports, making each sip a celebration of the endless possibilities that come with a 0.0 start.
Heineken® has long been a brand dedicated to responsible consumption. Since launching Heineken® 0.0 globally in 2017 and in the U.S. in 2019, the brand has been at the forefront of the alcohol-free beer movement, catering to those who choose not to drink or prefer alternative options. With Heineken® 0.0, fans can enjoy the same great taste and ingredients as Heineken® Original, but with zero alcohol—making it the perfect companion for any occasion, whether you’re on the court or in the stands.
Adding to the excitement, Heineken® has teamed up with tennis stars Taylor Fritz and Morgan Riddle for the L0VE.L0VE campaign. “We’re both thrilled to partner with Heineken® 0.0 for the US Open,” they said. “As we travel together for the ATP Tour, it’s important for us to find that balance between intense training and downtime. Having an alcohol-free option like Heineken® 0.0 is a perfect match for our lifestyle.” Their partnership underscores the campaign’s message that moderation is both cool and compatible with an active, exciting life.
Fans across the country also have a chance to join in the L0VE.L0VE experience live at the US Open. By visiting Heineken’s promotional website on August 14, consumers aged 21 and older can enter for a chance to win limited-edition Heineken® 0.0 cans, two tickets to a US Open match, and other exclusive prizes. No purchase is necessary to enter or win, making it an accessible opportunity for tennis enthusiasts everywhere. CLICK HERE TO ENTER.
Beyond the limited edition Heineken® 0.0 L0VE.L0VE packaging, Heineken® Silver—a world-class light beer with low calories and low carbs—will be available exclusively on tap at the US Open for the first time. This crisp and refreshing option is perfect for those seeking a lighter brew. During US Open Fan Week, select NYC consumers will have the chance to sample Heineken® Silver draught, adding another layer of excitement to the event.
From the Heineken® Bar to the Heineken® Red Star Patio Cafe, fans will find plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy a premium beverage. Whether it’s Heineken® Original, Heineken® Silver, or Heineken® 0.0, there’s a brew for everyone to enjoy the tournament in their own way.
