From high school to the pros — Contested is your platform.
Navigate NIL with confidence. Contested provides tools to help screen deals, flag prohibited categories, and generate NIL-ready documentation — so you can work with your compliance office more easily.
Learn the basic information you need to know about using Contested
Getting started is simple! Create your free athlete profile, connect your social accounts, and customize your mini-site. You'll immediately gain access to brand partnership opportunities and our NIL compliance tools. No manager or agent required.
Not at all! Contested is designed for athletes at every level. Whether you have 500 followers or 50,000, brands are looking for authentic connections with specific audiences. Your sport, location, and engagement matter more than follower count.
Contested provides compliance tools designed to help you navigate NIL requirements. We screen deals for prohibited categories, generate NIL Go–ready documentation, and include FTC disclosure templates. However, NIL rules vary by school, conference, and state — we always recommend confirming eligibility with your school's compliance office before accepting any deal.
Deals range from social media posts and product endorsements to event appearances and long-term ambassadorships. Compensation varies from product exchanges to cash payments ranging from $50 to $10,000+ per campaign, depending on your reach and engagement.
Creating your athlete profile and mini-site is completely free. We only take a small percentage (7%) of deals booked through our platform. There are no monthly fees, hidden costs, or payment required to access opportunities.
Yes! Contested complements your existing representation. Many athletes use our platform for smaller deals and self-service opportunities while their agents focus on larger negotiations. You maintain full control over which opportunities you pursue.
Your mini-site is fully customizable through our drag-and-drop editor. Add your highlight reels, stats, social feeds, merchandise links, and more. Choose your colors, layout, and which sections to display. Everything updates in real-time as you make changes.
Contested is the only platform that combines athlete marketing tools, brand partnerships, and NIL compliance in one place. Our mini-sites are sports-specific, our compliance tools are automated, and we actively match you with relevant brand opportunities instead of waiting for you to find them.
Real brand deals. Protected payments. Zero runaround. Join thousands of athletes already earning on Contested.
