Leeds United has named BoyleSports as its official UK and Ireland betting partner in a multi-year agreement announced on 29 July 2026. The deal puts the Irish bookmaker's branding across Elland Road for the 2026/27 Premier League season and marks its latest move into English football.

Under the partnership, BoyleSports signage will appear around the stadium, including matchday LED advertising and permanent branding in the John Charles West Stand. The club said the agreement will also fund fan-focused activity, from competitions to digital content, across the campaign.

For BoyleSports, the tie-up extends a growing football sponsorship portfolio and deepens its presence in the UK, where Irish operators have expanded for years. Founded in 1982, the family-owned firm behind BoyleSports' online casino now runs more than 400 shops and employs over 2,700 people across Ireland, the UK and Gibraltar.

Liam McKee, Head of Sponsorship at BoyleSports, framed the deal as a fit with the club's support base.

'Leeds United is a truly iconic club with a rich history and one of the most passionate fanbases in English football,' McKee said. 'We're thrilled to partner with the club as its UK and Ireland Betting Partner, and we look forward to creating engaging and memorable experiences for supporters throughout the season.'

Phil Hardman, Partnerships Director at Leeds United, welcomed the tie-up in the club's official announcement. 'We are excited to welcome BoyleSports as an Official Partner for the upcoming campaign, with the opportunity to work with them on a number of exciting fan activations,' he said.

The agreement lands as the Premier League operates under its collective decision to remove gambling sponsorship from the front of matchday shirts from the 2026/27 season. Betting partnerships that stop short of front-of-shirt branding, such as stadium signage and LED advertising, remain permitted, and the Leeds deal sits within those limits.

The deal also underlines how closely the two markets are now tied, with Ireland's gambling regulator and its British counterpart cooperating more openly. BoyleSports has built its name at home before pushing abroad, and a Premier League association gives it season-long visibility with a large English audience.

BoyleSports is one of the best-known bookmaking names to emerge from Ireland, and the Leeds agreement continues a wider pattern of betting brands backing English football clubs. Stadium and LED sponsorships have become a common route for operators since the Premier League moved to phase gambling logos off the front of shirts.

BoyleSports has grown from its 1982 origins into one of the largest bookmakers to come out of Ireland, with a retail estate spanning Ireland, the UK and Gibraltar alongside its online business. The Leeds agreement gives that brand season-long exposure to a Premier League audience as the operator pushes further into Britain.

Financial terms were not disclosed. The partnership runs across the 2026/27 season and beyond, with both parties pointing to fan activations that will roll out once the campaign is under way.
