Popular prediction market operator Kalshi is upgrading multiple sports offerings, including tennis and soccer markets, through a partnership with a U.S. and Canadian-licensed sports content supplier.
Key Takeaways

Enhanced sports
The multi-year partnership includes live streaming and data for more than 65,000 tennis matches, including from the World Tennis Tour, Australian Open, and Davis Cup.
Coming off a successful 2026 FIFA World Cup that saw $1.9 billion alone traded on the Spain-Argentina final, Kalshi is enhancing soccer markets. The partnership gives the operator access to a Catalist Sports portfolio that includes international soccer.
International basketball and hockey games are also included in the Kalshi deal.
“This agreement marks a major milestone for Catalist Sports, bringing together our portfolio of premium official rights with the largest prediction market platform in the U.S.” said James Monk, vice president and general manager of Catalist Sports. “By offering Kalshi exclusive U.S. prediction market access to our live streaming portfolio, we’re creating new value for our rights-holder partners while helping deliver a richer, more trusted fan experience.”
Unique partnership
Kalshi burst onto the scene during the 2024 Presidential Election with its political markets and later expanded to sports event contract offerings in early 2025.
The operator offers prediction markets for game spreads, totals, and futures markets for key leagues like MLB, NBA, NFL, UFC, Premier League, Ligue 1, and others. More than $173 billion has been traded all-time at Kalshi, with the majority of that handle coming from sports.
Catalist Sports provides its tennis and soccer content services to multiple legal sports betting operators in North America, like FanDuel, DraftKings, Fanatics, Hard Rock Bet, Caesars, and theScore Bet, but Kalshi is Catalist’s first prediction market partner.
“The agreement reflects the continued growth of prediction markets as a new distribution channel for premium sports content, extending the reach of official sports rights and creating new ways for U.S. audiences to engage with leagues and competitions from around the world,” Monk said.
