The Museum develops a lively range of temporary exhibitions with associated activities and events. Some of these exhibitions tour nationally. Each exhibition offers sponsors the opportunity to considerable brand-exposure through placement of their logos within the gallery, in promotional leaflets and web pages for the exhibition and related activities and in media stories. Each exhibition attracts distinctive audiences that can be linked to sponsors' client base.

Sponsorship packages start at £6,000, with £30,000 for headline sponsorship.

Here are a few examples of exhibitions planned for the near future:

•  The Everton Collection. A major redisplay of the National Football Museum will include key items from the best collection representing a single club. The Everton Collection Trust acquired the David France Collection with the assistance of the Heritage Lottery Fund and has brought it together with Everton FC's collection, to document the long history of one of the founding clubs of the Football League and its links to its friendly Liverpool rival. A must for Everton and Liverpool fans and everyone interested in the history of the game.

•  Thank God for Football. An exhibition that draws on the research of Peter Lupson, the author of critically acclaimed book, 'Thank God For Football', that throws new light on the early history of the game. Lupson's research shows that 12 of the 38 clubs that have played in the Premier League can trace roots to the church - from Aston Villa to Tottenham Hotspur. Available to tour.

•  Saved for the Nation. The Story of the FA Cup . Using the remarkable 1896 FA Cup trophy, the oldest surviving version of the FA Cup, the exhibition provides everything you ever wanted to know about the world's oldest and most loved Cup competition. An amazing collection of rarely seen objects help to tell the story of the Cup and explain why the competition inspires people throughout the world. The exhibition continues its popular national tour.

•  Football and the Seventies. Clough, Revie, Shankly, Keegan and Bremner acted out the most dramatic era in English football to the soundtrack of Slade and the Bay City Rollers with fans wearing bell-bottom trousers and platform shoes. An exhibition to celebrate what now seems like an innocent age, but that also saw the dark days of football hooliganism. Available to tour.

•  You Are the Ref. Prints, drawings and paintings from more than 50 years of the work of Britain's best known comic / sports artist, Paul Trevillion, famous for his illustrations in You Are the Ref and Roy of the Rovers and his distinctive portraits of many sporting legends, including Bobby Moore, Pelé and George Best.
