Flutter Entertainment has confirmed plans to delist its ordinary shares from the London Stock Exchange, making the New York Stock Exchange its sole primary trading venue.
The gambling giant set out its formal plans in a statement released on 12 June 2026, with the LSE delisting scheduled to take effect on 3 August.
Flutter had been linked with a potential LSE exit for several weeks prior to the announcement, with speculation building steadily across the industry.
During its Q1 results announcement, the company revealed it was undertaking a formal review of its London listing, prompting widespread market speculation.
Reports emerged shortly after that Flutter was moving towards a full delisting, and the company has now confirmed that outcome following the conclusion of its review.
Flutter concluded that low trading volumes on the LSE, combined with the costs and regulatory burden of maintaining the listing, meant exiting was in the best interests of shareholders.
Flutter has formally requested the UK Financial Conduct Authority to cancel the listing of its shares on the Official List, and has also asked the LSE to cancel admission to trading on its main market.
The final day of Flutter shares trading on the LSE will be Friday 31 July, with the delisting taking effect from 8am on Monday 3 August.
Flutter’s share price was slightly higher at opening on the LSE on the day of the announcement, rising 0.5% following the news.
The move marks the latest step in a strategic shift towards the US market that Flutter began in January 2024, when the company announced it would pursue a primary NYSE listing.
Flutter subsequently moved its primary listing from Dublin to New York while retaining a secondary presence in London, citing greater access to North American investors.
The company also argued at the time that a US listing would better reflect the growing importance of its US-facing business, led by FanDuel.
FanDuel has since strengthened its position as a leading online sports betting operator in the United States, helping drive broader revenue growth across the Flutter group.
After the LSE exit completes, the NYSE will be the only venue where Flutter shares can be traded by investors anywhere in the world.
The decision to consolidate around New York comes despite Flutter reporting slower US growth in Q1, with FanDuel facing tougher year-on-year comparisons in a more mature sports betting market.
US revenue increased 6% year-on-year to $1.76bn in Q1, with strong iGaming growth of 19% helping to offset softer sportsbook performance during the period.
Overall, Flutter reported Q1 group revenue of $4.3bn, representing a 17% increase, underlining the scale of the business beyond its US operations.
CEO Peter Jackson described the US market and FanDuel’s position within it as “one of the most significant growth opportunities in our industry”, signalling continued long-term commitment to the region.
Despite the slower quarterly growth figures, Flutter views the US as a central pillar of its long-term strategy and the primary driver of future shareholder value.
The LSE delisting effectively closes a chapter for Flutter in the UK market, as the company aligns its capital markets presence with where it sees its greatest commercial future.
