SPFL reveal Cinch as new sponsor for all divisions

- By ANGUS WRIGHT

Scottish football has a new title sponsor for the four senior leagues – online car retailer cinch.

The Scottish Profession­al Football League confirmed the five-year deal, which will run until the end of the 2025-26 season, is the SPFL’S largest to date and has been welcomed by chief executive Neil Doncaster.

He said: "This is an enormously significan­t partnershi­p for our member clubs, and for Scottish football as a whole.

"Our discussion­s with cinch have been extremely positive and the duration of the sponsorshi­p agreement demonstrat­es their long-term commitment to Scottish football.

"Despite the economic situation and the challengin­g nature of the global sponsorshi­p industry generally, this is the largest-ever sponsorshi­p in the SPFL era.

"It's a ringing endorsemen­t of the enduring popularity of Scottish football, not only north of the border but right around the world.

"It's an exciting time for the Scottish game and I look forward to building on this new partnershi­p as we continue to showcase Scottish football and maximise its exposure to a global audience."

There was no title sponsor for the leagues last season after a deal with betting company Ladbrokes expired in 2020.

Cinch is also principal partner of England Cricket, and sponsor Tottenham.

Chief Customer Officer Robert Bridge said: “Scottish football has a UK audience of over 20 million but more importantl­y, it is the heartbeat of the Scottish community.”
