Overview
- On Monday, June 8 Sportradar announced a multi‑year global agreement to act as an official data and solutions provider for Kalshi covering MLB, NHL, MLS and UFC.
- Sportradar will deliver official league feeds, fast pre‑game and in‑play odds, fan engagement tools, customer acquisition services and integrity monitoring such as UFDS AI and the Sportradar Integrity Exchange.
- The agreement is non‑exclusive and permits Sportradar to license data directly to Kalshi’s brokers and market makers, a structure intended to speed trade settlements and cut settlement friction for prediction‑market contracts.
- Sportradar shares jumped roughly 8–10% on the news, financial terms were not disclosed, and investors are watching the company’s next earnings update on Aug. 4 for signs of revenue impact.
- The deal ties major‑league official data into a regulated prediction‑market platform, underscoring prediction markets’ growth while raising questions about league licensing rules, regulatory oversight and how widespread sublicensing will be managed.
