We’re excited to continue building on this partnership as we expand our sports offering.”

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.”
