Route 66 Sports Rivals is expanding to 10 major hubs across 8 states along the Mother Road. We're recruiting one exclusive founding operator per city to run the VR esports rivalry franchise in their market.
▶ 60 seconds: the 10-hub Mother Road vision — watch before you inquire.
Route 66 Sports Rivals name, logos, the full 7-tier metallic sponsor badge set, and ready-to-run marketing templates for your city.
The proven 7-tier sponsorship inventory ($500–$25K), Stripe checkout infrastructure, scarcity-driven sales page template, and pricing playbook.
The 10-league season structure, 4-team division formats, scheduling templates, and the Route 66 Rumble championship bracket system.
Live stream production templates, sponsor overlay systems, and spectator feed setups used in the founding Springfield markets.
Your city enters the cross-hub rivalry calendar and qualifies teams for the national Route 66 Rumble — plus shared national sponsor revenue.
Operator onboarding, sponsorship sales coaching, and ongoing support from the founding Springfield IL/MO team.
This isn't theory — it's the exact model we're running in Springfield IL & MO right now. You don't need to borrow $25,000 for equipment; you need to close one sale using the system we hand you.
Lock exclusive rights to your hub city — $5,000/season. One operator per city, first come, first served.
We hand you the proven 7-tier sales page, Stripe checkout, metallic badges, and pitch playbook. Your city's one-of-one Title Sponsor sells for $25,000 — "[Your City] Rivals presented by [Brand]".
The Title Sponsorship covers your entire $25,000 VR & broadcast rig. Zero debt, zero bank underwriting — and you've proven you can sell before spending a dime on hardware.
Prefer to launch first and sell later? Third-party equipment financing runs roughly $600–650/month (36–48 mo terms), and SBA Express loans cover equipment purchases — tick the financing box in the inquiry form and we'll send you options.
Final terms are set in the territory license agreement.
You already have headsets, space, and a gaming community — plug the rivalry format straight in.
Turn slow weeknights into ticketed VR league nights with live broadcast watch parties.
You know how to run leagues and sell local sponsorships — this adds a VR esports vertical with scholarship tie-ins.
Tell us who you are and which hub you want. Territories are granted to one operator per city — inquiring early puts you first in line.
