IC Markets has entered a sponsorship partnership with Australian tennis player Alexei Popyrin ahead of the 2026 season.

Earlier this month, the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team named IC Markets as its official forex trading partner. The agreement was announced ahead of the Formula 1 season finale at the Yas Marina Circuit. The multi-year deal places IC Markets branding on several parts of the car, including the nose, front wing, halo, and cockpit headrests.

Popyrin Targets Return After Injuries

Popyrin is 26 years old. He has won three ATP singles titles and one doubles title. His career includes a win at the Montreal Masters 1000 during the 2024 Canada Open. He was the first Australian to claim an ATP Masters 1000 title since Lleyton Hewitt in 2003.

The partnership comes as Popyrin prepares for the start of his 2026 season. He is scheduled to open his campaign at the Brisbane International and the Adelaide International. He will then compete at the Australian Open.

Popyrin said he was “looking forward to starting the season strong with IC Markets.” He referred to injuries last year and said he had “put in the work to come back better.” He added that the partnership reflected a “focus on performance and continuous improvement.”

Entered ATP Top 20 in 2025

In August 2025, Popyrin entered the ATP Top 20. The ranking followed quarterfinal finishes at the Monte Carlo and Toronto Masters events and a fourth-round appearance at Roland Garros in May. Injuries later affected his season and his position in the rankings.

Peter Tardent, General Manager of IC Markets Australia, said Popyrin’s “speed and precision” reflected the company’s approach. He said IC Markets was “proud to support him” during the 2026 season.

IC Markets Expands Presence Across Sports

Earlier, IC Markets partnered with World Table Tennis as the official CFD trading partner for the 2024–2025 season. The agreement was part of the broker’s broader involvement in sports sponsorship and gave it access to WTT’s 1.7 billion unique TV viewers in 2023.
