Agreement significantly expands Polymarket’s coverage across soccer, basketball and tennis

Sportradar Group has significantly expanded its US prediction market partnership with Polymarket to more than twenty global sports leagues and competitions.

The new agreement includes sports data, live streaming and integrity services to Polymarket across sports leagues and competitions representing approximately 300,000 matches annually.

Under the US agreement, the expansion adds global leagues including the Bundesliga, Euroleague Basketball, the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), the National Basketball League (NBL), Tennis Grand Slams, and UTR Pro events, among others.

This builds on Sportradar’s previously announced deal with Polymarket for the ATP Tour, Major League Baseball (MLB), National Hockey League (NHL), Major League Soccer (MLS) and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). 

The two companies expect to continue building their partnership with additional products, properties and markets.

“We are pleased to deepen our partnership with Polymarket extending our data and solutions across a significantly broader portfolio of sports,” said Sportradar CEO Carsten Koerl. “Prediction markets represent a compelling adjacent growth opportunity and Sportradar is cementing its role as the foundational infrastructure powering this ecosystem. 

“Accurate real-time data, premium live content and a robust integrity framework are what allow these markets to price efficiently, settle reliably, and retain the confidence of participants. We look forward to expanding on this foundation with Polymarket as the category continues to develop.” 

Ari Borod, president of sports business development at Polymarket, added: “Expanding our relationship with Sportradar across more than 20 leagues and competitions gives Polymarket access to premium sports data, live content and integrity services at an unprecedented scale. We’re excited to continue building on this partnership as we expand our sports offering.”
