## Story

ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 18, 2026 // PRNewswire // -- Domino's is gearing up for soccer's biggest games this summer, in more ways than one: with free Emergency Pizzas and exclusive merchandise! If any player from the U.S. team receives a red card in the soccer tournament, Domino's is here to help soften the blow by giving away $1 million worth of Emergency Pizzas. In celebration of the upcoming matches, Domino's has also launched a limited-edition line of cobranded merchandise from Saturdays Football, including jerseys, a cap and slides.

"We're as excited about the summer of soccer as fans are around the country! Whether you're planning to watch all the matches or perhaps you're playing pickup games of your own, Domino's has some fun ways to help you get ready," said Kate Trumbull, Domino's executive vice president – chief marketing officer. "Not only are we launching a capsule of cobranded merchandise from Saturdays Football, but we're also giving fans the chance to win free Emergency Pizzas.

Soccer gurus know the worst thing to happen in a game is for a player on the team you're rooting for to receive a red card. If that happens to the American squad, Domino's is here to help ease the pain by giving away Emergency Pizzas. It may not change the outcome of the match, but it can provide a delicious pick-me-up when it's needed most."

To enter for a free Emergency Pizza, registration prior to June 10 at 11:59 p.m. ET is required. If any player on the U.S. soccer team receives a red card, winners will be selected to receive a free medium, two-topping pizza. Winners must be enrolled in Domino's Rewards and then redeem their pizza by Aug. 2, 2026.

Emergency Pizzas for red cards is one part of the program. Additionally, a separate promotion tied to EA SPORTS FC™ 26 will provide 75,000 free Emergency Pizzas. On Fridays between now and June 5, 2026, a unique promo code in the game experience will be awarded for a medium two-topping pizza to randomly selected EA SPORTS FC™ 26 players in the U.S. who are 18 or older. Why? Maybe players loaded into EA SPORTS FC™ 26 on an empty stomach or perhaps their fridge is bare – whatever the reason, this is intended to provide the emergency assist.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Open to legal residents of the 50 U.S. & D.C., 18 or older. Ends 11:59 p.m. ET 6/10/2026. To redeem prize, you must join Domino's Rewards. Void where prohibited.
