What happened. Three Premier League clubs have failed to secure front-of-shirt sponsors after a ban on gambling companies, agreed in April 2023, took effect.

Eleven of 20 Premier League teams had gambling sponsors last season.
Obscure gambling firms often paid double non-gambling offers.
Pressure from government and ethical concerns led to the ban.

Clubs must now find non-gambling sponsors or start the season with blank kits.
