Bud Light is now the official beer of University of Houston athletics, the university announced Wednesday.

The partnership between UH, Houston-based Silver Eagle Distributors, Anheuser-Busch and IMG will include football, basketball and baseball programs and run through 2021.

"As Houston's local Bud Light distributor, Silver Eagle Distributors is thrilled to partner with our hometown team as they embark on another season of growth and success," said John L. Nau III, chairman and CEO of Silver Eagle Distributors. "We are excited about UH's future and elated to be part of this exciting time in Houston college sports.''

As part of the partnership, UH fans will have access to the new Bud Light Beer Gardens at TDECU Stadium, Darryl & Lori Schroeder Park and beginning in 2018 the Fertitta Center. Bud Light will also be featured with a party deck and club level bar inside TDECU Stadium.

UH previously had a partnership with MillerCoors brewing company.

The agreement is for exclusive marketing rights for Bud Light. Other beers will be available at UH venues.
