The biggest headlines at Stake this week

Our September sit-down with Frankie Dettori

The legend is back in the Stake blog! In our September interview with Frankie Dettori, Frankie opens up on his recent injury, the 30th anniversary of the Magnificent Seven at Ascot, the young jockeys he is backing, and the horses he fancies for the big autumn meetings, including his early pick for the Arc. For all the latest form and tips, our horse racing news blog is updated every week.

The Champions League returns

The league phase of the UEFA Champions League kicks off next week, and we are ready. Paris Saint-Germain are the two-time defending champions, but our team has gone a different way for the trophy this season. Read who we are backing for the outright, the golden boot, and our dark horse in our Champions League predictions blog before Matchday 1 arrives.

BLAST Open Fall reaches the finals

The BLAST Open Fall 2026 wraps up this weekend, with the playoffs deciding who takes home the CS2 title on 6 September. Our BLAST picks blog has you covered right through to the grand final.

The matchups worth backing this week

From Monza to Paris, there is plenty to get stuck into across Stake Sportsbook! The full promo slate is on our Stake promotions page, but here is where our focus is.

Premier League: goals galore in Matchweek 3

What a weekend of football! Manchester United put five past Ipswich Town in a 5-2 win, Chelsea edged Brighton in a 4-3 thriller, and Arsenal left Villa Park with all three points after a 1-0 win over Aston Villa. With Matchweek 4 already here this weekend, it is the perfect time to size up the early table on our English Premier League hub.

While you are there, do not forget our Soccer 90th Minute Payout. Place a 1x2 bet on any eligible match, and if your team is leading at the 90th minute but does not go on to win, we will pay you out up to $100.
