Bandai Namco Entertainment America’s PAC-MAN and Club América are joining forces once again to celebrate one of Mexico’s most iconic holidays: Día de Muertos. and I am thrilled. Visually, the inclusion of the calaveras (sugar skulls) have become shorthand for the holiday but not every inclusion of a calavera is the same.
When it comes to this collaboration though, it’s respectful, looks cool, and clearly is looking to celebrate Mexican culture as much as the iconic character by honoring the holiday’s traditions. The collaboration begins October 21, 2025, introducing xclusive experiences, merchandise, and moments both on and off the field.

The Bandai Namco and Club América partnership began in April of this year, blending the endless love for PAC-MAN, a pioneer in gaming and pop culture, with the passion, pride, and legacy of Club América. This collaboration couldn’t come at a better time for fans given world events, especially for football fans in the United States.
Per the release, “This initiative is part of both brands’ ongoing commitment to celebrating and amplifying Mexican culture, connecting generations through experiences that combine tradition, sports, and entertainment.” And you know what? That’s awesome.
