GoFan Becomes First High School Sports Ticketing Provider to Offer Cash App Pay, Bringing Seamless Payments to Millions of Fans

Integration is part of Cash App's broader partnership with PlayOn Sports to connect with high school sports communities nationwide

ATLANTA, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PlayOn Sports, the nation's leading technology company powering high school athletics, today announced Cash App Pay will be available with GoFan, the largest digital ticketing provider for high school sports. The integration marks Cash App Pay's first integration with a national high school sports ticketing platform.

GoFan is integrating with Cash App Pay to meet the next generation of fans where they are — offering a fast, secure, and user-friendly checkout option that improves event access and helps bring new fans to the game. The integration expands payment choice for the families and fans who come together to support their local teams.

Beyond payments, the partnership includes marketing across the broader PlayOn portfolio, including MaxPreps, to build awareness of Cash App Pay among high school sports audiences. These efforts complement the GoFan integration, connecting with fans as they follow their teams and plan for game day.

By building the partnership around a natural fan behavior, purchasing tickets through GoFan, and extending it through in-app experiences, push notifications, incentives, and MaxPreps integrations, PlayOn and Cash App are creating a more connected experience for fans while supporting meaningful interactions within the high school sports community.

"High school sports are where communities come together, and PlayOn is at the center, connecting millions of athletes, families and fans in ways no other company can," said Luke Pagano, senior vice president of advertising sales and brand partnerships at PlayOn Sports. "This unique partnership embeds Cash App Pay directly into the consumer journey across our ecosystem, connecting purchase to game day seamlessly while driving strong engagement and consideration. It's the perfect example of how brands can leverage PlayOn to connect with audiences in authentic ways that bring together commerce, content and community at scale."

"High school sports bring families and communities together, and we want to make it easier for everyone to participate in these important moments," said Tanuj Parikh, Global Head of Revenue, Cash App and Afterpay. "By integrating Cash App Pay with GoFan, we're meeting families where they are with flexible payment options that make attending games more accessible. This partnership represents our commitment to expanding payment choice in the spaces that matter most to communities across the country."

GoFan powers digital ticketing for thousands of schools and serves millions of fans annually, making it a consistent touchpoint with Gen Z and Millennial households. The addition of Cash App Pay further demonstrates how brands can partner with PlayOn to enhance in-person experiences and drive meaningful community-based connections at a national scale.

Cash App Pay is now available on GoFan nationwide.
