As World Cup fever builds, we reflect on the 25/26 football season and look ahead to the 26/27 season, highlighting key legal and regulatory developments. The 25/26 season marked a pivotal shift for UK football, with the Football Governance Act and the establishment of the Independent Football Regulator. There were also significant developments across the Women’s game.
As regulatory and legal developments continue, clubs continue to navigate an increasingly complex range of challenges, including player and employee rights, evolving technologies, multi-use stadium strategies, financial sustainability, and fan engagement. In this year’s Beyond the Game, we bring together key legal developments and practical insights to help you stay ahead in a rapidly changing environment.
