Burnley FC and BK8 announce contract extension

Betting company BK8 has extended its partnership as the Official Training Wear partner of English professional football club Burnley FC for the upcoming season.

As part of the agreement, BK8’s branding will continue to feature on the Burnley men’s and women’s teams’ training wear as well as on LED signage across Turf Moor—the Burnley men’s team home ground—and the club’s digital channels.

The global betting brand was announced as the Official Training Wear partner of Burnley FC in August 2022 and, through the partnership, supported the club’s community activities last season.
