The top industries for shirt sponsorships across top divisions in Europe are:

In the Championship, gambling is also the most popular category of shirt sponsor with six clubs – Burnley, Middlesbrough, QPR, Stoke, Sunderland, and Watford.

There are no gambling sponsors on shirts in League One and League Two. The most common industries in those divisions are energy, automotive, and food and drink.

Three Scottish Premiership clubs – Celtic, Dundee United and Rangers – are sponsored by gambling firms.
