Everton sponsor 'in talks' with Chelsea despite looming Premier League ban

Everton main shirt sponsor Stake.com is in talks with Chelsea over a similar deal, despite a Premier League ban on such partnerships being just three years away.

As part of an ongoing government review into gambling legislation, following discussions with the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, the League and its member clubs, a collective decision was taken back in April to place a voluntary ban on front of shirt gambling sponsorship deals from the 2026/27 season.

Clubs who had multi-year deals already in place, of which Everton were among a number, were given three years grace to honour such deals before the new legislation arrived, although sponsorship deals could still be struck for new front of shirt partnerships during the three-year grace period provided they came to an end in time for the start of the 2026/27 campaign.
