Overview
- The NFL announced Thursday that it signed multi‑year commercial agreements with DraftKings, FanDuel and Fanatics Betting and Gaming ahead of the 2026 season.
- All three partners gain rights to use NFL marks, activate at marquee events such as the Super Bowl and NFL Draft, and integrate across NFL‑owned digital media.
- The agreements give partners access to official real‑time play‑by‑play data, Next Gen Stats and BetVision delivered through Genius Sports, enabling live in‑app wagering features.
- Each operator agreed to follow the league’s game integrity rules, share intelligence on suspicious activity, prohibit wagers the NFL deems objectionable and support annual staff gambling education.
- The league did not disclose financial terms and said it will not pursue commercial deals with prediction‑market platforms; the deals follow a negotiation pause earlier in August over Genius Sports’ data pricing.
