Thank you for your interest in supporting the QPL during our inaugural 2017 season. In the few months since launching, the QPL  has received a staggering amount of interest from players, fans, and media, and we could not be more excited about what we  can achieve here.

The sport of quidditch is growing incredibly quickly. Created only 11 years ago, the sport has developed to the point of having  governing bodies and competitive teams on six continents. The extremely engaged community of fans and players, in person  and offline, makes this possible, and brands that utilise the audience quidditch can provide are no strangers to the benefits that  can bring.

If your brand wants to get involved in this very unique opportunity, the QPL is the place to start. Since announcing the league live  on Sky News Sunrise, the global press has jumped at the chance to feature the QPL, and this has given us a reach beyond our  wildest dreams. We are delighted at the chance to share the sport of quidditch worldwide with our global community, and would  love to be able to share your brand with them as well.

I am, personally, more proud of the sport of quidditch than words will do justice to. The sport is constantly changing countless  lives for the better across the world, providing an athletic and community opportunity that is unparalleled. The power of this  community is the key to its engagement, and will be the key to your success as a brand should you partner with us.
