The Football (Offences) (Designation of Football Matches) (Amendment) Order 2025, effective September 5th, 2025, updates the Football (Offences) (Designation of Football Matches) Order 2004.

It replaces outdated league names—Football Conference with National League, Football Association Women’s Super League with Women’s Super League, Football Association Women’s Championship with Women’s Super League 2, and Welsh Premier League with Cymru Premier—to ensure accurate designation of football matches under the Football (Offences) Act 1991 for the purposes of preventing disorderly conduct.

The Football Spectators (Prescription) (Amendment) Order 2025, effective September 5th, 2025, updates the 2022 Order which prescribes football matches and organizations under the Football Spectators Act 1989.

It corrects names of competitions (National League, Women’s Super League, Women’s Super League 2, Cymru Premier) and organizations, including the addition of Women’s Super League Football Limited.

This ensures that regulations remain current and accurately reflect the current football landscape in England and Wales.

The Football Spectators (Seating) (Amendment) (England) Order 2025 updates the Football Spectators (Seating) Order 2022 to reflect Everton Football Club's relocation to a new stadium, the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The amendment changes the address listed in Schedule 2 of the 2022 Order to the new stadium's location.

The Order ensures accurate licensing information and maintains regulatory compliance.

The Safety of Sports Grounds (Designation) (Amendment) Order 2025 updates the list of designated sports grounds in England and Wales.

It reflects changes caused by club promotions and relegations within football leagues, stadium renamings, and changes in stadium occupancy.

The order amends the 2015 Order to accurately reflect these changes to ensure the ongoing efficacy of safety regulations at these venues.

This Order extends licensing hours for pubs and clubs in England and Wales during the 2025 UEFA Women's European Football Championship.

The extension applies to the semi-final and final matches if a team representing England or Wales participates, allowing licensed premises to remain open for an extra two hours beyond their usual closing time (until 1 a.m.) The extension excludes off-premises alcohol sales, and it only applies to premises open shortly before or after the specified time.

These regulations amend the Gambling Act 2005 (Premises Licences and Provisional Statements) Regulations 2007 to require updated premises plans for converted casino licences in England and Wales.

The amendments mandate that plans for licence variations include details about table gaming areas, ensuring compliance with conditions set by the 2025 Order, which introduces new gambling entitlements for converted casinos.

The changes aim to provide clearer instructions for applications and improve regulatory oversight of casinos' operations.

This Order amends the 2006 Order, which implements parts of the 2005 Gambling Act, specifically concerning regulations for converted casino premises licenses in England and Wales.

It allows for up to 80 gaming machines in such casinos under certain conditions (minimum gambling area, machine categories, and ratios to gaming tables), with connected premises also subject to overall machine limits.

The Secretary of State will periodically review the regulatory provisions and publish reports.

These regulations, effective July 22, 2025, amend the Gambling Act 2005 and related regulations governing casinos in England, Wales, and Scotland.

Key changes include altering the calculation of permissible gaming machines per table, reducing the minimum size requirement of the casino's table gaming area, and introducing new mandatory conditions for converted casino premises licenses based on the size of their gaming and non-gaming spaces and the number of gaming machines.

The Secretary of State is also required to regularly review and report on these changes.
