Premier League Enforces Ban on Gambling Sponsors for 2026-27 Season
Premier league bans gambling sponsors
The Premier League has officially implemented a ban on front-of-shirt gambling sponsorship for the 2026-27 season, removing betting logos from all 20 club jerseys. Finance has emerged as the new dominant sector, though three clubs remain without sponsors. While betting brands are excluded from the chest, they retain visibility through sleeve and training kit partnerships.
For the first time in many consecutive seasons, betting companies are completely absent from the front of match jerseys across all 20 Premier League clubs.

Same happened in Italy, so all betting sites turned into "news" site so you would have teams being spored by "betting_company_name news". Useless. There's a proposal to be back to previous type of sponsorship.

Title doesn't appear to be entirely accurate - it would seem they can still have gambling sponsors but can only wear their logos on the sleeves and training kit.

Finally! I hope these betting sites will vanish.

If I'm squeezing enough margin out of my customers that I can afford to sponsor a football team with some of the leftover cash then you probably don't want to deal with me.

Aramco was the most prominent sponsor in the World Cup, and Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan owns Man City and was subject to a campaign calling on the English Premier League to hold Mansour to account for the UAE's role in the war in Sudan.
Shades of grey, but I'll take the gambling companies any day of the week.
