Polymarket is bringing its prediction markets to U.S. soccer fans as the Official Partner of Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Leagues Cup.
The multi-year partnership makes Polymarket the official and exclusive prediction market partner of MLS, MLS All-Star Game, MLS Cup presented by Audi, and Leagues Cup.
The agreement also includes safeguards to protect the integrity of MLS and Leagues Cup matches, such as independent monitoring of trading activities.
“As soccer’s audience continues to grow and evolve in the U.S., fans are looking for new ways to engage more deeply with the game,” said Shayne Coplan, founder and CEO of Polymarket.
“Through our partnership with MLS and Leagues Cup, we can surface real-time collective sentiment around key moments, matches, and season-long storylines, giving fans a more interactive, data-driven way to experience the game and engage with the world’s most popular sport.”
The company said that with the FIFA World Cup arriving in North America in 2026, Major League Soccer and Leagues Cup are entering a new era of visibility and growth, creating expanded opportunities to engage fans in meaningful and modern ways.
MLS deputy commissioner and president of Soccer United Marketing, Gary Stevenson, added: “As MLS continues to grow, innovation remains central to how we engage fans and evolve the league.
“Partnering with Polymarket allows us to integrate prediction markets as a new fan engagement format and position MLS as an early leader among global soccer properties.”
The 2026 MLS season begins on February 21.
