Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated November 5, 2026
In plain terms: some links on GoalPost earn us a commission if you make a purchase. Here's exactly which ones, and how it works.
The short version
GoalPost is reader-supported in part through affiliate partnerships. When you click certain links on this site and make a qualifying purchase, GoalPost may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. This is standard practice, disclosed here per FTC endorsement guidance, and every affiliate link on the site carries a sponsored attribute identifying it as such to browsers and search engines.
What’s active right now
| Partner | Where you’ll see it | Network |
|---|---|---|
| Hotels.com | City, stadium, and match pages (“Find Hotels”) | Commission Junction (CJ) |
| Expedia (US, UK and Canada) | City, stadium, club and match pages (“Flights + Hotels”) | Commission Junction (CJ) |
| Fanatics | Club, national team, and match pages (“Shop Official Gear”) | Impact.com |
These are the only three programs currently earning GoalPost a commission. We only link a partner once their program is approved and configured — if you see a CTA card for a category below that isn’t listed here as active, it either links directly to an official source with no commission involved, or it simply won’t render at all (our components are built to show nothing rather than send an untracked or unapproved click).
Other categories on the roadmap
GoalPost has applied to, or may in the future apply to, affiliate programs in a few other categories. None of these are earning a commission today; this list exists so the disclosure stays accurate as programs go live rather than needing you to guess:
- Tickets — ticket links may become affiliate links (e.g. StubHub).
- Travel & experiences — stadium tours and city experiences (e.g. GetYourGuide), and additional hotel/travel partners.
- Dining — reservation links at fan-home venues (e.g. OpenTable).
- Streaming — services for watching matches. “Watch on” links on match pages go to the service’s own site today and earn nothing; one becomes an affiliate link only once that service’s program is approved, and is then listed above.
- Betting — sportsbook links, where legally offered. Any live betting link is 18+ only; please bet responsibly, and contact the National Problem Gambling Helpline (1-800-522-4700) if it’s ever a concern for you or someone you know.
Whenever any of these becomes an active, commission-earning program, it will be added to the table above and the “Last updated” date on this page will change.
How you can tell
Every affiliate link on GoalPost opens in a new tab and carries rel="noopener noreferrer sponsored" — the sponsored value is the standard technical signal for a paid/affiliate link. Many affiliate cards also carry a short inline note (for example, “Hotel links are affiliate links” under a hotel card, or a small “Ad” label) at the point of the link itself, not just on this page.
What we don’t do
- We don’t let commission change what a rating, prediction, or valuation says. GPR, GPS, FMV, and match predictions are computed the same way regardless of any affiliate relationship — see Methodology.
- We don’t receive your payment details or purchase history from these networks — only that a referral occurred.
- We don’t charge you more for buying through an affiliate link than you’d pay going direct.
