What to put in a McDonald’s sponsorship pitch
McDonald’s sponsors more international pro teams and national teams than any other kind of property in SponsorFlo Market (24 as of October 6, 2026). If you run one of those, your pitch starts on ground McDonald’s already buys; if you don’t, lead with how your audience matches the people McDonald’s sells to.
Restaurant brands buy local traffic: a game-day or event-day offer, a coupon or app redemption your fans can use nearby, and signage seen by people who live near their restaurants. Name the restaurants closest to you and how you will track redemptions.
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 McDonald’s 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.
