The Premier League has announced that gambling sponsorship on the front of football shirts will be phased out by the end of the 2025/26 season.
This decision was made collectively by the clubs and will make the Premier League the first sports league in the UK to voluntarily take such a measure to reduce gambling advertising.
Currently, eight out of the 20 top-flight clubs have shirts sponsored by gambling companies.
The three-year transition period will allow existing deals to be completed without clubs facing penalties for cutting contracts short.
The Premier League is also working with other sports to develop a new code for responsible gambling sponsorship.

However, the Premier League, with its high television rights revenues, had been under pressure to take action.
