2025 Sports Industry Inspirations

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve learned that some of the best million-dollar sponsorship ideas aren’t born in meetings - they’re uncovered by studying hundreds of real moments, through the lens of a specific brand, property, and objective.

As a result, Gainor Sports created this playbook as a way to give back to partners, peers, and the next generation of sports industry leaders.

Over the past year, I’ve studied sports events around the world and curated the most creative sponsorship and fan engagement ideas, shared throughout the year on @GainorSports and now brought together here.

My hope is that this inspires what you and your organization create with partners and fans in 2026 and beyond.

Happy Holidays,

Brian Gainor Founder & CEO, Gainor Sports
