Why sponsor the Raiders

Three reasons local businesses say yes.

Real exposure, on-field and online.

Your logo on jerseys, on social posts, on livestreams, on the league site — everywhere we are during a 4-month season.

Two backlinks per sponsor.

A permanent page on raiders.utahrugbyleague.com/sponsors/your-business AND on the league site. Real SEO juice for local businesses.

Local community goodwill.

Utah Raiders is community-built. Sponsoring puts your business on the side of family-friendly local sport.

Where your sponsorship goes

See exactly how your money funds the Raiders.

Drag the slider or pick an amount. Stripe takes 3% off the top, then the rest splits to the player who sold the spot, the team pot, and the league. Each player's full season costs $310 — $210 registration plus $100 for their off-field kit.
Anything above registration still goes to the player at 75% — flights, gas, time off work, the path to pro.

$
To the Raiders player who sold this $109.13 75% after Stripe — registration first, then pro-pathway costs (travel, gas, time off)
Raiders pot — gear, travel, season-end $29.10 20% after Stripe
URLA — site, payments, admin $7.28 5% after Stripe
Stripe credit card fee $4.50 3% off the top

A $150 sponsorship covers $109.13 of the player's $310 season registration. Still $45.87 to fully cover their season.

Bonus for businesses

Tax-deductible as a marketing expense.

Sponsorship payments are generally deductible by your business as an ordinary advertising / marketing expense — your logo on jerseys, in posts, and on a permanent backlinked sponsor page is real promotional value. At a 24% effective tax rate, a $150 sponsorship costs ~$114 after deduction; a $500 sponsorship costs ~$380. (We're not your tax pro — confirm with your accountant.)

Pick your spot

Every spot. Every price. Pick one and reserve it.

Single-spot, single-price, single-deliverable. No bundles. Buy as many as you want — each one is its own promise.

How placement works: Spots fill in order of purchase. After you reserve, we'll work with the Raiders to assign your final placement based on what's still open at your tier. If a specific spot you wanted is already taken, you'll get an equivalent spot at the same price — same exposure, same deliverables.

Heads up: jerseys are printed once per season. Logo files due by May 31, 2026.

FAQ

Quick answers.

When is the deadline?

Jersey spots: May 31, 2026. Content and league spots: anytime, but earlier means more posts.

Can I sponsor the Raiders specifically?

Yes — that's exactly what this page is for. Pick a team-sold spot and your logo goes on the Raiders kit and content.

What size logo do you need?

High-resolution PNG or vector (SVG / AI / EPS) on a transparent background.

Can I sponsor more than one spot?

Yes — buy as many as you want. Each one is its own deliverable.

What if I don't have a website?

The business page we build for you on the raiders subdomain becomes your web presence for the season. Put that URL on cards, social bios, etc.

Can I cancel?

Once a jersey is printed, that spot is locked for the season. Content spots can be paused with 30 days' notice.

Who do I contact?

Email [email protected] or [email protected].
