Iron to host Business Brunch event on Fixture Release Day

Scunthorpe United is inviting members of the local business community to a special networking event on Fixture Release Day, providing an opportunity for professionals from across the region to connect while looking ahead to the new football season.

The event, set to take place in the MKM Executive Lounge at the Attis Arena on Friday, July 10th between 10am and 12noon, will bring together existing club partners, sponsors and local businesses for a morning of networking, discussion and anticipation as supporters discover who the Iron will face during the 2026-27 campaign.

Guests will have the opportunity to build new relationships, share ideas and learn more about the commercial opportunities available through the football club. Representatives from the club's commercial team will also be on hand to discuss partnerships, sponsorship packages and hospitality options for the upcoming season.

As excitement builds ahead of the fixture announcement, attendees will be among the first to discuss the key dates on the calendar as they're released at 11am, including opening day opponents, festive fixtures and local rivalries. This will also give attendees the opportunity to book their matchday sponsorship slots first, with the release of the club's home fixtures allowing businesses to secure their preferred dates before they become available to the wider public. Matchday sponsorship packages remain one of the most popular ways for companies to entertain clients, reward staff and increase brand visibility, and those attending the networking event will enjoy priority access to the available fixtures.

Head of Partnerships, Glyn Sparks, said: "Fixture Release Day is always an exciting moment in the football calendar, and we're delighted to combine that excitement with an opportunity for local businesses to come together and strengthen connections within the community.

"Scunthorpe United has a proud history of working closely with businesses across North Lincolnshire and beyond, and events like this help create valuable opportunities for collaboration and growth."

Refreshments will be available throughout the event, with guests encouraged to bring plenty of business cards and make the most of the networking opportunities on offer.
