Kalshi to use Sportradar official data and integrity tools

Kalshi, a U.S. prediction market operator, announced on June 9, 2026, that it has signed a multi-year global agreement with sports-data firm Sportradar to use official league data and Sportradar’s integrity systems across its prediction markets.

Under the deal, Kalshi will receive official pre-game and in-play feeds plus live odds for Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League, Major League Soccer and the UFC. Sportradar will supply fan-engagement content and a commercial marketing package aimed at customer acquisition.

Kalshi stated the official feeds will allow faster and more accurate contract settlements than unofficial sources. Kalshi Chief Executive Tarek Mansour said, “We will use the league data for quicker trade settlements and a better customer experience.”

Sportradar will provide two integrity products: UFDS AI, an automated system to detect suspicious betting behavior, and the Sportradar Integrity Exchange, a secure network for sharing information on manipulation threats. Kalshi says the systems will monitor markets and flag unusual activity.

The agreement comes as about 11 state regulators have challenged Kalshi’s sports-event contracts as illegal sports betting. Senate Democrats have argued some event contracts amount to unlicensed betting, while the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has asserted federal authority over prediction markets and supported Kalshi’s right to operate.

Sportradar described the agreement as an entry into the prediction-market space and said it can now contract directly with Kalshi’s brokers and market makers. The company already supplies the same data feeds to major sportsbooks and several leagues.

Leagues and player unions are divided on prediction markets. The NHL and MLB have separate prediction-market agreements, and a coalition of player unions has petitioned the CFTC to ban the riskiest categories of sports-related contracts.

Kalshi, founded in 2018, is the leading U.S. prediction market platform and earns most of its trading-fee revenue from sports-related contracts. Kalshi will use Sportradar’s data, surveillance tools and marketing products to achieve faster settlements and expanded customer engagement.
