Polymarket partners with Sheep Esports for League of Legends and VALORANT
Polymarket has partnered with Sheep Esports, an organization active in League of Legends and VALORANT competitive gaming, the parties announced June 1. Sheep Esports announced the deal on its website and via X, where the post received 29 likes and 24 replies. No financial terms, deal duration, or specifics on how Polymarket branding or prediction markets will be integrated into Sheep Esports events or content were disclosed. Polymarket itself was not quoted in the Sheep Esports announcement. The partnership covers Sheep Esports' League of Legends and VALORANT team operations. Reddit users noted that Polymarket does not currently offer VALORANT or League of Legends markets.
Polymarket must now convert its Sheep Esports and OneFootball media partnerships into actual fee-generating volume before the 2026 World Cup window closes. Kalshi's Interactive Brokers integration and hedge fund courtship already give it deeper institutional liquidity.
Polymarket's third partnership announced in under a week — after OneFootball and its existing MLB and PrizePicks deals — deepens its vertical push into sports and media distribution while Kalshi counters with Interactive Brokers and hedge fund ties.
