Bradford were awarded the 2025 City of Culture award back in May last year and bookies are giving a variety of betting specials around what will happen for the city after taking over from 2021 winners Coventry.

The year will be massive for the city with Coventry securing more than £172m of direct investment to support the programme of events in their city of culture year with the same expected for Bradford. 

Betway make it 6/4 that Jonny Bairstow captains England in a Test Match in 2025 as the favourite special in the betting market for Bradford's 2025 and it could be decent odds if he's still playing Test Cricket in that time.

Bradford Bulls to win the Challenge Cup in 2025 40/1 2.4%

Bradford City are 250/1 to win the FA Cup in 2025 which is the longest odds special

Bradford City are known for a big cup upset with their win over Premier League side Chelsea at Stamford Bridge by 4 goals to 2 in 2015 one of the biggest there's been in the FA Cup in the last decade.

The Bantams reached the quarter-final stage of the FA Cup in that season, with Reading defeating them in that round 3-0 in a replay.

The biggest odds in the Bradford 2025 betting specials market is for Bradford City to win the FA Cup in 2025 at odds of 250/1.

Bradford won the 2025 City of Culture award back in May last year

Bradford were awarded the 2025 City of Culture award on BBC's The One Show back in May last year.

The result was a shock one with Bradford the rank outsiders on the 4 place shortlist in terms of betting odds at 7/2 just a week before it was announced.

At odds of 2/1, it was Wrexham who were expected to be given the award which was announced by Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries.

Bradford were the winners though and they'll already be preparing for their year as City of Culture.

Despite being the longest odds of the four remaining candidates at 7/2, it was Bradford who were awarded the 2025 UK City of Culture prize back in May last year. The city will be looking to have a big year similar to Coventry in 2021!
