Sportradar signs multi-year global data deal with Kalshi for sports event contracts
Sportradar and Kalshi announced a multi-year global data and infrastructure partnership on Monday, June 8. Sportradar will serve as core data provider for Kalshi's regulated sports event contracts, supplying official real-time feeds from MLB, the NHL, MLS, and UFC. The deal gives Kalshi access to verified league data designed to support faster trade settlement and market integrity. Sportradar trades on Nasdaq under ticker SRAD; its shares rose on the announcement. The companies did not disclose financial terms. The agreement follows Kalshi's federal court win clearing the way for its sports event contracts.
Kalshi now holds a league-verified data moat that Polymarket and offshore competitors cannot replicate without similar CFTC-regulated status. Any state enforcement action challenging Kalshi's sports contracts must overcome Sportradar's official league feeds, which carry the implicit endorsement of MLB, the NHL, and UFC themselves.
Kalshi's fourth distribution or data partnership this week alone, after Moomoo's retail integration, the DRW-Wintermute-IMC market-maker buildout, and the Robinhood-Rothera routing split — making Kalshi the busiest platform in the prediction-markets infrastructure race.
