SPFL Names Ladbrokes as Sponsor In ₤ 4m Deal SPFL names Ladbrokes as sponsor in ₤ 4m deal The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) has actually revealed that wagering business Ladbrokes will be its primary sponsor from next season. The two-year deal, believed to be worth a little over ₤ 4m, includes rights throughout all four leagues and 42 clubs. While it did not expose any figures, Ladbrokes stated the offer was the biggest of its kind in Scottish football. The SPFL has actually lacked a sponsor given that 2013 when the league was restructured. The Clydesdale Bank sponsored the Scottish Premier League up until its agreement ended two years ago, electing not to renew the ₤ 2m-per-year offer. Funds from that were divided between 12 clubs. The new offer will lead to the Scotland's leagues end up being called the Ladbrokes Premiership, Ladbrokes Championship, Ladbrokes League 1 and Ladbrokes League 2 at the start of the brand-new season in August. An "definitely thrilled" SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster informed BBC Scotland: "It is the most significant single ever title sponsorship deal of this nature in Scotland in 125 years of the Scottish Football League. "So it's extremely considerable, I believe, financially. "It's an offer throughout the whole of the SPFL - the first deal of its kind - and all 42 clubs will benefit through the ladder system set out in the guidelines. "On all those levels, I think it's great news for all clubs in Scotland." The brand-new deal takes the total SPFL prize-money fund to ₤ 20m. Next season's Premiership champions will get an extra ₤ 268,000 as an outcome, with the Championship winners getting ₤ 45,000 more. At the bottom end of the scale, the team finishing bottom of League Two will earn their club an extra ₤ 3,600.
