The Athena Pro marks another step forward in the long-running partnership between the two brands, blending Fnatic’s iconic orange and black colour scheme with Blacklyte’s flagship chair design.
Athena Pro Gaming Chair Features And Design
The Fnatic x Blacklyte Athena Pro has been built with both performance and comfort in mind. Blacklyte has customised the chair using Fnatic’s branding, similar to its recent co-branded release with Team Liquid.

Key features of the Athena Pro include adjustable ergonomic support, high quality memory foam cushioning, and a four-way dynamic armrest system designed to reduce strain during long gaming sessions. The chair is aimed at competitive players and content creators who spend extended hours at their desks and want a premium seating setup.

Pricing And Availability
The co-branded Athena Pro gaming chair is now available to purchase directly through Blacklyte’s official website. The chair is priced at $619 USD, while UK customers can pick it up for £449. Availability is live now, with Fnatic actively promoting the chair across its social channels.
Blacklyte’s Growing Presence In Esports
Founded in 2021 in Toronto under its parent company Arcus Home, Blacklyte has been steadily expanding its footprint in the gaming and esports space. Over the past year, the brand has secured partnerships with major organisations including Team Spirit and OverActive Media’s Toronto Ultra.
The company has also increased its involvement with tournament organisers, most notably becoming a partner for Counter-Strike’s StarLadder Budapest Major 2025.
A Long-Term Relationship With Fnatic
Blacklyte has been working with Fnatic since 2024, when it became the team’s official gaming chair and desk partner, replacing AndaSeat. That deal focused on exclusive content, community activations, and limited-edition products, laying the groundwork for releases like the Athena Pro.
Fnatic continues to be supported by a wide range of partners, including Red Bull, Sony’s IN-ZONE gaming brand, Betify, and DLSM. Toward the end of 2025, the organisation was also reportedly exploring a potential sale, after receiving expressions of interest that valued the team at around $100 million.
With the Athena Pro now on sale, Fnatic and Blacklyte are once again combining performance, branding, and comfort, targeting fans who want to bring a piece of the esports stage into their own gaming setups.
