XTB has signed a major partnership with European mixed martial arts organisation OKTAGON MMA, becoming the largest MMA sponsor in Europe. The deal builds on XTB’s existing title sponsorship of Poland-based promotion KSW and further strengthens the broker’s presence across combat sports.
The agreement marks XTB’s most extensive sponsorship in European MMA to date. For the first time in OKTAGON’s history, a sponsor’s logo will appear on all fighter jerseys, alongside premium brand placement across live events, broadcast coverage, and digital content. The partnership spans OKTAGON’s key markets, including the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany.
Commenting on the deal, Omar Arnaout, CEO of XTB, said:
“We naturally support organizations that, like us, have no complexes and constantly raise the bar. OKTAGON has proven it has enormous potential and could soon become one of the leading players on the global MMA scene.”
OKTAGON has established itself as a dominant force in European MMA, particularly in its home markets, and has broken attendance records with large-scale events in Germany. The promotion is now preparing for its most ambitious year yet in 2026, with 18 events planned across multiple countries.
Pavol Neruda, OKTAGON’s co-founder, described the partnership as more than a traditional sponsorship:
“This partnership is more than a logo in the cage. It’s a connection between two worlds that share the same way of thinking.”
XTB has been steadily building its combat sports profile since partnering with UFC star Conor McGregor in September 2022. The broker later expanded its ambassador roster to include former UFC champions Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Jiří Procházka.
The strategy appears to be delivering results. Last year, XTB reported surpassing one million clients globally. Meanwhile, back in October, the broker said more than 100,000 new users joined its investment app in a single month, marking the highest monthly growth in its history.
With its latest OKTAGON partnership, XTB is positioning itself to further increase brand visibility across Europe as competition among online brokers intensifies.
