Betway announce return to racing with Jockey Club partnership

Betway has announced a partnership with The Jockey Club, which will see the bookmaker sponsor 16 racedays across Newmarket, Haydock Park, and Market Rasen during 2026.

The deal will also see Super Group-owned Betway become the official fixed odds betting partner for one of the highlights of the summer – The Debenhams July Festival at Newmarket.

Lewis Knowles, PR Manager at Betway, said: “Betway sponsors some of the largest sporting events and teams globally, but it’s great to see British racing make a welcome return to our portfolio.

“We were one of the largest supporters of racing in the last decade, with thousands of races carrying our name from 2015 to the Champion Chase at Cheltenham in 2024.

Fantastic

“This deal is a fantastic opportunity to align our brand with this wonderful sport once again.

“We have had great success working alongside The Jockey Club in the past, and everybody at Betway is thrilled to be resurrecting that partnership for 2026.”

Dan Glavin, Betting Partnerships Manager at The Jockey Club, said: “It is fantastic news that Betway is renewing its association with The Jockey Club via this exciting new partnership. 

“The Betway Craven Meeting at Newmarket is when the new Flat turf season really hits its stride and is the perfect time to get the partnership underway. 

“In addition to also becoming the fixed odds betting partner of the prestigious Debenhams July Festival at Newmarket, Betway will also have its name associated with a significant number of high-class racedays right the way through to the end of the year.

“The majority of these racedays will be broadcast live on ITV, providing significant brand exposure. 

“Our thanks go to all the team at Betway and we look forward to working closely alongside them throughout 2026.”
