Polymarket Becomes the ATP Tour's Official Prediction Market Provider — With Sportradar Supplying Integrity Monitoring
Polymarket has signed a deal with Tennis Data Innovations, the joint venture between the ATP Tour and ATP Media Holdings, to become the tour's official prediction market provider. The agreement covers approximately 20,000 matches per season across the ATP Tour and ATP Challenger Tour, with official live data and odds supplied by Sportradar — which will also provide integrity monitoring services. US users will get integrated live streaming alongside real-time prediction market contracts. It is Polymarket's second major data and streaming partnership in two days, following the Genius Sports deal on August 5.
Polymarket has agreed a partnership with Tennis Data Innovations (TDI) — the joint venture between the ATP Tour and ATP Media Holdings that manages official data and streaming rights for professional tennis — making Polymarket the official prediction market provider of the ATP Tour. Under the deal, US-registered Polymarket users will have access to live broadcasts of ATP Tour and ATP Challenger Tour matches integrated directly with trading markets. Official live data and odds will be supplied by Sportradar, TDI's exclusive distribution partner, which will also provide integrity monitoring services for the markets. The agreement covers approximately 20,000 matches per season, spanning the full professional circuit from high-profile Masters events including Indian Wells, the Miami Open, and the Cincinnati Open through to the Nitto ATP Finals and the ATP Challenger Tour. 'By combining live ATP streaming with official data and prediction markets in one place, we're creating a more dynamic product allowing fans to experience and trade on markets relating to the game as it unfolds,' said Ari Borod, Polymarket's President of Sports Business Development.
The Sportradar component is the most significant structural element. Sportradar is the world's largest sports data company and the dominant commercial data provider for professional tennis globally — its integrity services arm already monitors ATP Tour matches for irregular betting patterns on behalf of the tour and the Tennis Integrity Unit, which was established specifically to combat match-fixing in professional tennis. Having Sportradar supply integrity monitoring for Polymarket's ATP markets means the same company that monitors the betting market anomalies detected by traditional sportsbooks will now do the same for prediction market activity. That closes a gap the Group of Copenhagen's World Cup report identified as a structural problem: prediction markets operating without access to the integrity information-sharing infrastructure that governs traditional regulated betting. For the ATP Challenger circuit in particular — where match-fixing concerns have historically been highest, given lower prize money and weaker oversight — real-time Sportradar monitoring is a meaningful safeguard.
The deal is the second major official data and streaming partnership Polymarket has announced in two days. On August 5, Polymarket confirmed a partnership with Genius Sports covering exclusive streaming rights for Serie A and dozens of other competitions, with Genius Sports providing official data for contract settlement and integrity information-sharing with leagues. The ATP Tour deal follows an identical template: official data for settlement, official streaming for the watch-and-trade product, and integrity monitoring integrated at the data provider level. The consistency of the template across two separate partnerships in 48 hours, alongside the New York Yankees sponsorship announced the same day as the ATP deal, points to a coordinated institutional rollout rather than individual one-off agreements. Polymarket is moving through sport-by-sport and property-by-property, acquiring official data rights and the legitimacy that comes with them.
The product implication is the same as the Genius Sports deal, now extended to tennis: a US user can watch a match at Indian Wells, a Masters 1000 event, and simultaneously trade contracts on set result, match winner, or in-play outcomes without switching applications. Twenty thousand matches per season — the full ATP and Challenger circuit — is a substantially larger content library than any US sportsbook offers via integrated streaming. Sportsbooks typically license premium matches and broadcast a fraction of what Polymarket will now have access to through TDI. The Challenger Tour in particular, which has historically been difficult for fans to follow given limited broadcast coverage, becomes accessible through a platform that generates revenue from trading volume rather than subscription or carriage fees. Whether that depth of coverage on lower-profile events increases or decreases integrity risk — more users watching means more market depth, but more market depth on thin-prize-money events is exactly where the Tennis Integrity Unit focuses — is a question Sportradar's monitoring will now have to answer in real time.

Kalshi and Polymarket Are Now Taking Bets on Clinical Trials. Researchers Say That Is a Structural Integrity Problem.
Kalshi and Polymarket have begun allowing users to bet on the outcomes of clinical drug trials and FDA approval decisions. Researchers running those trials say the markets create direct financial incentives for people with access to trial data — pharmacists, coordinators, investigators — to tamper with results. Kalshi argues the markets are no different from stock market short sellers and will provide valuable information about drug development. Critics call the whole thing 'ghastly.' The debate represents the most ethically serious challenge prediction markets have faced.
Polymarket Becomes Official Prediction Market Partner of the New York Yankees — One Week After Novig Did the Same With the Mets
Polymarket has announced a partnership with the New York Yankees making it the team's official prediction market partner for the remainder of the 2026 MLB season. The deal includes Polymarket branding at Yankee Stadium, rotating home plate signage during locally televised games, and exclusive fan experiences. It comes one week after the New York Mets announced an equivalent deal with Novig — meaning both New York MLB franchises now have an official prediction market partner, and two of the first three MLB prediction market partnerships are both in New York City.
