The North American division of La Liga and the US prediction market platform Polymarket recently reached a multi-year cooperation agreement, marking the first time a major European football league has designated a prediction market operator as an official regional partner. This exclusive partnership covers the United States and Canada, granting Polymarket the rights to manage prediction market activities related to La Liga in these regions. According to the agreement, Polymarket will gain broadcast exposure, digital and social media content creation opportunities, as well as the rights to use the intellectual property related to La Liga and club events. Additionally, the partnership includes unique fan experiences, such as VIP match hospitality and virtual meetings with former players. Frankly speaking, the prediction market is penetrating the mainstream sports circle at an astonishing rate, and this time La Liga is a pioneer among European leagues.
Deepening the North American market, Polymarket's sports territory expands further
The commercial expansion of La Liga's North American division has been ongoing since 2018, as part of a 20-year joint venture signed with Relevent, which is responsible for the league's strategic growth in the Americas. La Liga's existing regional sponsors include major consumer brands such as Walmart, McDonald's, and Verizon. The addition of Polymarket brings a new product adjacent to betting and oriented towards interaction to this portfolio. Shayne Coplan, founder and CEO of Polymarket, stated that the agreement will provide La Liga fans with a richer viewing experience. "Our goal is to allow fans to follow the games in a more expressive way, where opinions about players, matches, and season outcomes can be reflected in real time." This cooperation is the latest in a series of sports agreements by Polymarket. Last October, the NHL designated both Polymarket and its competitor Kalshi as official prediction market partners, becoming the first major US sports league to reach a commercial agreement with such sites. Subsequently, UFC signed with Polymarket in November, and MLB designated it as an official partner in March this year.
