Premier League clubs will be banned from having gambling sponsorships on the front of matchday shirts from the beginning of the 2026/2027 season. Newcastle United are currently one of eight top-flight clubs to profit from agreements with bookmakers, although the Magpies' six-year association with Fun88 will end following the current campaign.
The announcement on Thursday comes as a part of a consultation between the Premier League, its clubs and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Existing and new sponsorship agreements with betting firms will be allowed until the end of the 2025/2026 season, and clubs will still be able to feature gambling sponsorships in other areas such as shirt sleeves.
The statement released on Thursday read: "Premier League clubs have today collectively agreed to withdraw gambling sponsorship from the front of clubs’ matchday shirts, becoming the first sports league in the UK to take such a measure voluntarily in order to reduce gambling advertising.
