Midnite has been confirmed as the official partner of The Sun’s Dream Team fantasy football leagues, ahead of the 2025/26 football season.

Under the partnership, Midnite’s branding will feature prominently across the Dream Team platform, while the operator will run targeted ads on The Sun’s website promoting betting offers. The experience will be further enhanced by The Sun Sport’s regular news updates, designed to influence player selections and weekly decisions.

Owen Griffiths, The Sun’s Commercial Revenue Director, commented:

“As we look forward to the 2025/2026 football season, we’re delighted to partner with Midnite and offer fans the ultimate cash reward and an alternative way to interact with their favourite players in the biggest football league in the world.

“The Sun Dream Team is an important part of our identity, and this collaboration will enable fans to fully utilise all we have to offer, while also providing Midnite a new audience to strengthen its position as a disruptor brand in the market.”

Ryan Murton, Midnite’s VP of Commercial, added:

“We are incredibly proud to partner with The Sun for Dream Team. The competition is a true institution in fantasy football, with a long history of engaging millions of fans.
“As a challenger brand, this partnership is a significant milestone for Midnite and a testament to our commitment to disrupting the market.
“We look forward to delivering a truly best-in-class fantasy experience, blending The Sun’s heritage with our cutting-edge, proprietary technology for a new generation of players.”

The Sun’s Dream Team offers participants the chance to win a range of cash prizes, including a £60,000 grand prize, with points awarded for goals, assists, clean sheets and appearances of over an hour. The competition spans the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League and Europa League.

This latest deal follows Midnite’s recent partnership with Playzia for Love Island-themed games, signalling the operator’s growing interest in integrating pop culture IPs into its platform. While the Dream Team is traditionally favoured by sports betting enthusiasts, this collaboration could be seen as part of a broader strategy to diversify and expand Midnite’s player base.
