Man Utd announce £20m Betway deal ahead of Premier League gambling ban

Manchester United have announced a new sponsorship deal with Betway that reportedly values the agreement at a world-leading £20m. According to Mirror Football, the club has exploited a loophole in Premier League rules to get the deal over the line ahead of the 2026/27 season, when gambling companies will be banned from the front of shirts.

The upcoming league-wide ban applies to the front of matchday shirts, but United's latest commercial agreement is understood to sit outside that restriction. By announcing the partnership now, the club secures a major betting sponsor while such brands can still be associated with Premier League teams in other areas.

The deal is another sign of United's commercial pull and expands their sponsorship portfolio. Readers can find related match highlights and coverage on this site.
