- Premier League clubs will implement a voluntary ban on gambling sponsors from the 2026/27 season, affecting sponsorship deals worth over £140 million annually.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have secured a new front-of-shirt sponsorship with Midnite for their upcoming EFL Championship season following their relegation from the Premier League. This move comes as top-flight clubs prepare for a voluntary ban on gambling sponsors starting in the 2026/27 season, impacting significant revenue streams.
Midnite’s one-year partnership reflects strategic planning around potential promotion back to the Premier League, where such sponsorships would no longer be permitted due to impending regulations. (Source)
