Renewal of original 2021 deal includes team’s current home and the new Nissan Stadium, which opens in 2027

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV), a leading security technology company pioneering AI-based solutions designed to create safer experiences, today announced that it has renewed its Evolv Express® subscription agreement with the National Football League’s Tennessee Titans, one of the company’s earliest customers in professional football. The renewal will update Nissan Stadium’s 17 systems to Express Gen2, the latest version of the company’s flagship product, and covers all of the stadium's public entrances.

The renewal continues a trend as early Evolv customers reach the end of their initial subscription term and extend the partnership. In the first quarter of 2025, for example, about half of Evolv’s business came from existing customers—organizations that have already deployed Evolv solutions and have chosen to deepen their investment.

The renewal agreement includes the Titans’ current Nissan Stadium and the new Nissan Stadium, a domed facility with a capacity of about 60,000, currently under construction. The new stadium, which is situated immediately to the east of the current building, is scheduled to open in spring 2027. The Express systems will be relocated after the conclusion of the 2026 football season.

With its downtown location and adjacency to Nashville’s famous Lower Broadway entertainment district, the stadium is heavily utilized for football and beyond. In addition to Titans games, the venue hosts the annual Music City Bowl, CMA Fest, Tennessee State University home football games, and concerts from some of the world’s leading performers. Since they were originally commissioned in September 2021, the Express systems at Nissan Stadium have screened almost 5.8 million total guests.

“We’re very pleased to continue our relationship with Evolv,” noted Ashlee Stokely, the Head of Stadium, Operations & Experience for the Titans and Nissan Stadium. “When we first installed Express four years ago, the improvement to our guest ingress experience was significant and immediate. With Evolv’s help, we look forward to continuing secure and efficient entry in our current building and an even better guest experience when we move into the new Nissan Stadium in 2027.”

“The Titans represent two key milestones for Evolv,” observed John Baier, Evolv’s Vice President of Sports & Entertainment. “As our first renewal in professional football and our first opportunity to spec the design and capabilities of Express into a new football stadium, this renewal demonstrates that we’re delivering real value to our customers in sports and beyond.”

The Titans renewal highlights Evolv’s ongoing growth and long‑term partnerships within professional football. It also reinforces a strong presence in Nashville, which includes other iconic venues such as Bridgestone Arena, the Grand Ole Opry, and the Ryman Auditorium. Evolv also serves multiple schools, hospitals, and other venues in the Nashville metro area.

Evolv Express uses advanced sensor technology and AI to detect concealed threats and identify the person and location of the potential threat, while allowing people to move through checkpoints at their natural walking pace. The system is designed to screen visitors effectively while helping minimize congestion and disruptions to traffic flow at entry points. Worldwide, Express is trusted by sports and entertainment organizations to support efficient guest entry screening.
