A bet365 spokesperson said: “As the first sports betting brand to sponsor the

“Last season our commitment to giving fans ‘Never Ordinary’ experiences saw thousands of fans attend the biggest and best matches in European club football.
“bet365 has a long and successful football heritage and we’ll continue to use this prestigious partnership to give back to fans globally.”
The giveaway offers fans the chance to win tickets to every UEFA Champions League matchday across the competition. In the league phase of the tournament alone, bet365 is giving you the chance to watch the following UK teams: Arsenal FC Chelsea FC, Liverpool FC, Manchester City FC, Newcastle United FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC meaning a huge number of tickets each week will be won.
Last season, the main Big Ticket Giveaway ballot was supported with live activations for fans in London, Birmingham and Munich. The ‘Big Ticket Giveaway Game’ launched with Clarence Seedorf and Stiliyan Petrov giving away tickets to fans for selected league phase matches.
Sol Campbell and Julio Cesar joined the action for the knockout phase as the ‘Big Ticket Giveaway Game’ gave multiple pairs of tickets away to both the Quarter-Finals and Final of the UEFA Champions League.
To be in with a chance of winning tickets to any of the UEFA Champions League matchdays throughout the 2025/26 season, all fans must do is enter into the free-to-enter weekly ticket draws on the bet365 website or app*.
