Exhibit 99.1

Flutter announces leadership transition at FanDuel

New York, May 6, 2026: Flutter Entertainment plc (the “Company”, NYSE: FLUT; LSE: FLTR), the world’s leading online sports betting and

iGaming operator, announces that Amy Howe has left the Company and her role as Chief Executive Officer of FanDuel.

Christian Genetski, President of

FanDuel, will assume responsibility for leading the FanDuel business, continuing to build momentum and execute the division’s strategy. Christian joined FanDuel in 2015 and as President, he oversees FanDuel’s corporate strategy, business

development, strategic partnerships, as well as its legal, regulatory and government affairs functions. He played a pivotal role in unlocking sports betting across the United States, working closely with legislators, regulators and industry

counterparts, and has been instrumental in scaling the business to market leadership in recent years.

Flutter also announces that Dan Taylor, Chief

Executive Officer of Flutter’s international division, will take on the newly created role of President, Flutter Entertainment, while continuing to lead the international business. Dan has been with the Group for over a decade, holding senior

leadership positions across multiple markets and brands. In his new role, Dan will be responsible for the commercial delivery of Flutter’s global brand portfolio, working closely with Peter and leadership teams across the organization to drive

results and maximize the Group’s scale, expertise and investment.

Peter Jackson, Group CEO of Flutter, said: “With significant

growth potential ahead, we have decided this is the right moment for new leadership at FanDuel. I would like to thank Amy for her contribution to Flutter and FanDuel and recognize the impact she has had on the business since joining in 2021. During

this time, FanDuel has experienced periods of strong performance alongside meaningful change and transformation. We wish her every success for the future. I’m delighted that Christian will lead the business. He has a strong track record at

FanDuel and deep market knowledge, and we are confident he will build momentum and continue strengthening FanDuel’s position as the leading online sportsbook and iGaming operator in the US. He will work closely with Dan, who brings extensive

global industry and commercial expertise to his new role. We remain focused on delivering Flutter’s strategy and converting our scale, technology and customer offering into sustained, profitable growth.”

Amy Howe, FanDuel CEO said: “It has been a privilege to lead FanDuel over the past five years. I’m incredibly proud of the business

we’ve built and the talented team behind it, as well as the entertainment experiences we deliver to our customers every day. Together, we have established a clear leadership position in the market, strengthened our product and brand, and built

strong foundations for future growth. With the business well positioned for what comes next, I believe this is the right moment to hand over to new leadership to build on that progress and capture the opportunities ahead. I leave with great

confidence in the team and the future of FanDuel and I look forward to seeing its continued success.”
