The National League has teamed up with Enterprise Rent-A-Car in a major new deal, making the company its official title sponsor.

As part of this multi-year deal, the league will now be known as the Enterprise National League, along with its two regional divisions, the Enterprise National League North and Enterprise National League South.

This marks a significant financial and symbolic investment in the world of non-league football, highlighting a shared commitment to supporting grassroots sport and strengthening ties with local communities across the country.

This exciting collaboration brings together two organisations with a deep-rooted passion for community involvement and the growth of football.

The National League has long been a crucial part of the English football landscape, acting as a bridge between amateur and professional levels of the game.

Over the years, it has provided countless clubs with the opportunity to grow, succeed, and dream of promotion to the highest tiers of competition.

At the same time, it has cultivated a loyal and enthusiastic fan base that reflects the heart and soul of towns and cities throughout the UK.

Enterprise, well known for its longstanding dedication to serving neighbourhoods and investing in community initiatives, sees this partnership as a natural extension of its values.

Together, the National League and Enterprise aim to elevate the profile of non-league football, celebrate the spirit of local competition, and create meaningful impact well beyond the pitch.

National League Chairman Jack Pearce welcomed Enterprise as the National League’s new headline sponsor, calling it a major partnership that reflects the league’s rising profile and popularity.

“We are delighted to welcome Enterprise as our new headline sponsor,” Pearce said in a press release.

“This is a significant partnership for the National League and a testament to the growing strength and appeal of our competition.”

Vice President of Global Brand Strategy & Marketing Activation, Enterprise Mobility, Kyle Sanborn said the company is proud to support the National League and its communities.

“Enterprise is incredibly proud to be partnering with the National League,” Sanborn said in a press release.

“We recognise the vital role these clubs play in their local communities and the passion they inspire in fans nationwide.

“This sponsorship provides a fantastic platform for us to demonstrate our commitment to supporting these communities and explore innovative ways to provide mobility solutions for both the clubs and their dedicated supporters.”

“We look forward to a successful and impactful partnership.”

This partnership signals a new chapter for non-league football—one built on shared values, community spirit, and a collective ambition to drive the game forward at every level.
