Sponsors and the money they pay are one of the main sources of income for a club. New teams rely more on sponsorship money than on ticket sales from matches, as their supporter's base is rather small and takes up to a few seasons to reach an adequate level.
The future income due to sponsorship money is updated on every single economy update. The sponsors' mood is updated at the same time.
The average sponsors income money can be calculated with this formula:
Sponsors' income = 185 * ( Fans number * Sponsors' mood / Division index ) + 27200
Division index
The index of team current division is a coefficient used to calculate the sponsors' income. It measures the success of the team over long term.

Influences on sponsors' money
There are three factors influencing the amount of money that team receives from sponsors:
the team's success over short term, how well it does in its current matches, meaning the sponsors' mood and
the team's success over long term, meaning the index of team current division.

Sponsors
Sponsors prefer supporting a club sporting a good "image" to which they can be connected. The more successful your team is and the bigger your team’s fan club is, the better image (and the more sponsor money) you’ll get. Spokespersons also help to improve the club's image. Your sponsors' mood can be seen on the finances page.
