How do you ask Gatorade for a sponsorship?
Gatorade isn’t taking sponsorship requests: its official FAQ says it is not pursuing individual or corporate sponsorship requests right now.

What to put in a Gatorade sponsorship pitch
Gatorade sponsors more international pro teams and national teams than any other kind of property in SponsorFlo Market (17 as of October 6, 2026). If you run one of those, your pitch starts on ground Gatorade already buys; if you don’t, lead with how your audience matches the people Gatorade sells to.
Beverage brands buy category rights: exclusive pouring or on-site sales, sampling to your crowd, and their product in the hands of your athletes or performers. Say whether that category is open, how many people you can put a can or cup in front of, and how you will count it.
Put the offer in writing before you send it. Build the tiers with the free sponsorship tier builder, make a one-page sponsorship flyer, and send the full offer as a sponsorship proposal or a sponsorship deck. In SponsorFlo, Deck Studio builds the branded deck from your own packages.
Don’t pitch Gatorade alone. The brands that sponsor teams and events like yours are the likeliest yes; how to find sponsors walks through building that list, and the free sponsor lookup shows who sponsors any team, event or brand.
