Abstract: The integration of online digital technology has revolutionised the processes of creating, promoting, delivering, and consuming sports. The goal of this paper was to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the key factors that influence favourable consumer behaviour in the context of sport sponsorship, specifically in an online setting. The current paper focuses on the examination of the effects of four antecedent factors on two intermediate factors, namely spectators' awareness of and attitude towards sponsoring firms. Furthermore, the study investigates how these intermediate factors subsequently influence spectators' purchase intentions towards the actual sponsoring companies during a period of crisis. A quantitative methodology was adopted with 1182 online replies being gathered and examined. The collected data was then evaluated utilising statistical software such as SPSS and AMOS. In accordance with the results, it was observed that many factors had a substantial impact on the awareness, attitudes, and purchasing intentions of spectators.
