Genius Sports has launched new partnerships with Kalshi and Polymarket in an effort to expand into the prediction markets sector by supplying sports data to the operators for the U.S. market.
Under the deal with Kalshi, which was signed on August 5, 2026, Genius will offer the operator real-time official data for the English Premier League, Liga MX, Serie A, the French Ligue 1, and Argentina’s Primera División. With this data, Kalshi will be able to settle sports contracts more accurately and reduce the operator’s reliance on unofficial or delayed information. Additionally, Kalshi will take part in the sports data supplier’s integrity information-sharing processes.
Head of Sports Partnerships at Kalshi, Adam Barrick, commented:
“As the prediction market ecosystem continues to expand at a rapid pace, the use of official data and integrity services is more important than ever.”
Alongside the data supply, Genius will also provide marketing and media outreach services to Kalshi.
Regarding the contract with Polymarket, Genius is expected to offer sports data, live streaming, and integrity services to the company, giving U.S. users exclusive access to live sports streams and real-time markets.
Vice President of Genius Sports, Sean Conroy, stated:
“Prediction markets will scale on a foundation of trusted, fast, and accurate data, reliable technology, and robust integrity services.”
President of Sports Business Development at Polymarket, Ari Borod, added:
“Live streaming, official data, and integrity infrastructure play an important role in establishing an engaging product that customers can depend on. Our partnership with Genius Sports gives professional leagues direct visibility into prediction market activity around their competitions and reflects the standard we hold across every official league relationship we build.”
Following the announcements of the deals, Genius’ shares increased by over 14%, reaching €7.51 on the New York Stock Exchange.
