Advertise With Rugby Fan Central

Reach American Rugby.

Connect your brand with people actively following rugby in the United States — across the matches, competitions, teams, statistics, stories and conversations shaping the game.

Why Rugby Fan Central

Rugby Isn't A Category Here.

It's the entire platform.

General sports platforms serve many different audiences. RFC is being built specifically for people who actively follow, play, coach, organize and support rugby.

That gives brands the opportunity to appear inside a focused rugby environment — not simply beside an occasional rugby article.

Get In Early

American Rugby Is Growing.
So Is RFC.

RFC is building its audience, coverage and fan tools now. For partners, that creates an opportunity to build alongside the platform as American rugby grows.

Have Something Else In Mind?

Not Every Great Partnership Fits Inside A Package.

Tell us what you're trying to accomplish, who you're trying to reach and what success looks like. RFC can build around the objective.

Start A Partnership Conversation

Examples illustrate potential RFC commercial opportunities and do not represent current sponsorship relationships. Partnership availability and deliverables vary by campaign.

One Partnership. Multiple Touchpoints.

Build A Connected Rugby Campaign.

A campaign doesn't have to live in one place. Depending on the partnership, RFC can combine website visibility, social advertising, Match Centers, competition coverage and event coverage.

WEBSITE+SOCIAL+MATCH+COMPETITION
The goal isn't simply more placements. It's a more connected rugby campaign.
The Road Ahead

The Biggest American Rugby Moments Are Still Ahead.

American rugby is entering a defining period. RFC is building the coverage, competition destinations, Match Centers, statistics and fan tools designed to follow that growth.

Brands don't have to wait for the biggest moments to arrive before becoming part of the journey.

Who Could Partner With RFC?

Rugby Connects To More Than Rugby.

RFC partnerships can make sense for rugby organizations and for businesses looking to connect authentically with an active sports community.

Editorial Independence

Trust Matters.

RFC's editorial coverage is independent from its commercial partnerships.

Advertising does not guarantee editorial coverage, favorable reporting or influence over RFC journalism.

Sponsored and commercial content will be identified appropriately. Strong partnerships and trusted rugby coverage can — and should — exist together.
