The current picture is dominated by three sectors: betting, financial services and tech. Betting holds the largest share for now, but many of those deals will disappear with the 2026 ban. Financial and tech brands already have strong footholds and are expected to take more space as the reset unfolds.

Frequently Asked Questions
A front-of-shirt sponsor is the primary brand displayed on the front of a club’s match shirt. It’s the most visible inventory in football sponsorship — the logo that appears in every broadcast, highlight, team photo and news story.
Costs vary widely. Top-six clubs command multi-million annual fees, while mid-table and newly promoted sides can be far more accessible. Pricing also shifts with category demand — which is why the 2026 reset will bring new pricing dynamics for non-betting brands.
Historically: betting, financial services, airlines and technology. With betting leaving the asset class in 2026, financial and tech brands are expected to take more space, along with global consumer and digital-first brands.
Costs vary widely by club. Top-six teams command multi-million fees per season, while mid-table and newly promoted clubs offer more accessible pricing. During the 2026 reset, valuations are expected to shift due to higher supply and the exit of betting brands.
Yes — especially for digital-first businesses. Challenger brands value the frequency, trust and global distribution the Premier League provides. Brands like eToro and Stake showed how high-awareness sectors can scale quickly with a smart multi-club or aggregated approach.
Multi-club strategies are increasingly common. They deliver more reach, more match coverage and a stronger chance of owning a category across the league rather than tying everything to a single team.
Most run for two to three years. Longer terms exist for premium clubs, but the bulk of deals operate on short to medium cycles — which is why the 2026 season is unusual; many contracts will come to term together.
