W88 Premier League Sponsorship
W88's Premier League Shirt Sponsorship History
W88 has established itself as one of the most active Asian betting brands in the English Premier League through a series of high-profile shirt sponsorship agreements. Since entering the English top-flight market, W88 has sponsored six Premier League clubs: Wolverhampton Wanderers, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Fulham, Burnley, and most recently Sunderland AFC for the 2025–26 season.
The Premier League voluntary ban on gambling front-of-shirt sponsorship takes effect at the end of the 2025–26 season, making W88's partnership with Sunderland one of the final such deals in the league's history. Despite this regulatory change, gambling brands can still appear on sleeve positions and stadium perimeter boards, giving W88 future routes to maintain brand visibility.
