A Premier League club naming its new stadium after a law firm probably wasn’t on anyone’s 2025 bingo card. But that’s precisely what Everton has done, signing a multi-million-pound deal with Hill Dickinson to sell the naming rights for their new home. Stadium sponsorships like this aren’t just a splash of branding; they’re long-term commercial marriages, complete with vows on money, exclusivity, and who foots the bill when things go sideways (like a mid-table finish or, worse, relegation).
A naming rights deal allows a company to pay for its brand to appear in a stadium for a set period. For the sponsor, it’s a high-visibility marketing play that taps into fan loyalty and live TV coverage. For the club, it’s a valuable revenue stream, often helping to fund construction, cover wages or manage debts. Key contract features include exclusivity clauses, termination rights, and guidelines for the use of names and logos. From the Emirates to the Etihad to Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium, these deals show where law, sport and brand strategy collide.
