Toney, 26, was charged with 262 breaches of betting rules by the FA last year.
According to the Mail, the striker has pleaded guilty to “many” of the charges brought against him.
But he has opted to contest others.
Of Toney’s alleged breaches, 232 were charged to him last November for offences claimed to have taken place between 2017 and 2021.
He was subsequently charged with a further 30 in December.
Toney has been in red-hot form this season and is the joint-third top scorer in the Premier League.
His tally of 14 strikes is level with that of Marcus Rashford, and only behind Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.
Toney is uncapped at international level, but was an unused substitute for England’s 3-3 draw with Germany last September.
His impending ban is set to rule him out of the Three Lions’ clashes with Ukraine and Italy next month.
