Sportradar has significantly expanded its partnership with prediction market platform Polymarket, broadening the delivery of real-time sports data, live streaming, fan engagement and integrity solutions across more than 20 leagues and competitions.

The expanded agreement will give Polymarket access to Sportradar’s sports technology and content ecosystem across approximately 300,000 sporting events each year, substantially increasing the breadth of sports available on the platform.

The expanded portfolio includes the Bundesliga, EuroLeague Basketball, Chinese Basketball Association, National Basketball League and tennis Grand Slam tournaments, complementing existing coverage of the ATP Tour, Major League Baseball, National Hockey League, Major League Soccer and UFC.

Under the agreement, Sportradar will supply Polymarket with real-time sports data, live odds, scores, schedules and data visualisations to support its growing range of prediction markets. The partnership also incorporates premium audiovisual content, with exclusive streaming rights for the ATP Tour, Bundesliga and EuroLeague Basketball.

The combination of live sports content and real-time prediction markets represents a significant evolution in the way fans can engage with sporting events, allowing users to follow live action while participating in markets linked to those contests.

Carsten Koerl, CEO of Sportradar, said, “We are pleased to deepen our partnership with Polymarket, extending our data and solutions across a significantly broader portfolio of sports. 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.”

Integrity services form another important component of the agreement. Sportradar will provide its Universal Fraud Detection System and access to the Sportradar Integrity Exchange, strengthening Polymarket’s ability to identify and respond to suspicious activity surrounding sporting events.

The expansion underscores Sportradar’s strategy of extending its data, content and technology capabilities beyond traditional sports betting. For Polymarket, meanwhile, the agreement provides a significantly broader supply of premium sporting content as prediction markets continue to emerge as a new channel for sports engagement.

The deal positions Sportradar as a key infrastructure provider in the developing prediction market ecosystem, while giving Polymarket greater scale across the global sports calendar.
