DAZN has signed a partnership with Polymarket, the world\u2019s largest prediction market, that will see prediction trading become a feature of its live sports broadcasts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The global sports platform is applying for a license to introduce the service for its users in the US.<\/p>\n

Licenses are issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission which operates on a federal basis, rather than DAZN needing individual gambling licenses from each US state.<\/p>\n

If that proves successful, DAZN will explore the possibility of launching the service in other countries.<\/p>\n

Integrating Polymarket Into Live Broadcasts<\/h2>\n

The goal here is to boost user engagement by adding a new dimension to the platform\u2019s sports coverage.<\/p>\n

Polymarket data<\/a> will be integrated into DAZN\u2019s live broadcasts giving an instant snapshot into how fans believe key moments and swings in momentum will affect the result of sporting fixtures.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery sporting event is a conversation about what happens next,\u201d said Shayne Coplan, Polymarket founder and CEO.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolymarket turns that conversation into real-time probabilities, shaped by millions of users around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough our first-of-its-kind partnership with DAZN, we\u2019re embedding those insights directly into the viewing experience, from boxing to the Champions League, so fans can track momentum, debate outcomes, and engage with sports in a way that\u2019s never existed before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Will Prediction Markets Work In The UK?<\/h2>\n

Prediction markets enjoyed a breakout year through 2025 in the US but have been around for a lot longer.<\/p>\n

It is a space dominated by Coplan\u2019s Polymarket, which was launched in 2020, and rival Kalshi which became a federally regulated product the following year.<\/p>\n

A prediction market is an exchange where users trade on yes or no answers on the outcome of real-world events.<\/p>\n

The format\u2019s spike in popularity occurred during the US presidential election in October 2024.<\/p>\n

A controversial move into the sporting world in January last year offered US fans an alternative to traditional sports betting.<\/p>\n

\"Polymarket

Popularity increased rapidly to the point where South Park saw prediction markets as fair game for an animated take down.<\/p>\n

Conflict Of Interest during season 27 saw the boys checking out peer-to-peer betting on markets such as \u201cWill Kyle\u2019s mom strike Gaza and destroy a Palestinian Hospital?\u2019<\/p>\n

In a surreal moment of life imitating art, Polymarket ran an exchange on the up-coming episode.<\/p>\n

Users were presented with a list of phrases and asked: \u2018What will be said during South Park prediction market episode<\/a> tonight?\u2019<\/p>\n

The closest we have seen to an exchange in the UK is Betfair.<\/p>\n

Guernsey-based betting company Matchbook is working on the UK\u2019s first prediction markets model with plans to launch soon.<\/p>\n

DAZN To Become The Spotify Of Sport<\/h2>\n

At the same time as the details of the partnership with Polymarket<\/a> were revealed, DAZN CEO Shay Segev was addressing an industry audience in Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the annual ICE iGaming forum, Segev laid out DAZN\u2019s ambition to become sport\u2019s equivalent of Spotify.<\/p>\n

It is a mantra that Segev repeated through 2025, during which DAZN secured exclusive coverage of FIFA\u2019s Club World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The worldwide streaming platform holds a raft of exclusive sports rights, including domestic coverage of LaLiga in Spain, Ligue 1 in France and prides itself in being the \u2018undisputed global home of boxing\u2019.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s reach extends to 200 countries and territories.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur vision in DAZN is that we want every customer around the world to use DAZN as the go\u2011to, as the destination platform for sport,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Convergence is a key word for sports media companies looking to engage users by combining live coverage with iGaming products.<\/p>\n

An additional benefit, according to Segev, is that creating a one-stop shop reduces a user\u2019s need to seek unregistered services.<\/p>\n

Segev gave Spotify\u2019s affect on the music marketplace as an example, explaining that it helped eliminate illegal streaming.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat solved piracy was actually the user experience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpotify just becomes a convenient product.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou pay nine or 10 dollars a month, you get all the music you want.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou didn\u2019t need to download illegal songs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Converging Sports Content For The Future<\/h2>\n

\u201cIf you think about sport, you want to watch live content, you want to watch news, you want to get pictures, you want real\u2011time stats, you want communities and social, everything in one destination,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re building the global daily destination of a global platform for sport fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

That includes providing an interactive social platform, FanZone, and a betting service which is integrated seamlessly into the viewing experience.<\/p>\n

The aim for DAZN Bet is that it becomes an interactive experience complementing the live sports coverage, rather than following the model of traditional sportsbooks.<\/p>\n

\"Boxing
Boxing exclusives feature heavily on DAZN<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want to create just another betting site,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you go to DAZN, you go because you like sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to bet, it\u2019s a completely optional product.\u201d<\/p>\n

By providing a complete ecosystem of sports content, it will reduce temptation for users to look for illegal alternatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cPiracy is by far the biggest threat for the sport rights and sport media industry,\u201d said Segev.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make sure we build DAZN to a place where the user experience is such that even if you try to pirate the content, you will lose a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
