NFL, Genius Sports Extend and Expand Betting Data Partnership
The NFL and Genius Sports reached a two-year extension for the London-based firm to continue as the exclusive distributor of real-time, official play-by-play and gambling data to sportsbooks and media companies around the world. The deal includes expanded rights for Genius to monetize NFL IP in two new ways. Genius can now sell ad inventory on the NFL BetVision streams, which are the streams of live games in the sportsbook apps. Genius Sports also gains the right to sell ads across the NFL's owned-and-operated digital empire, leveraging Genius' FanHub platform. The agreement includes further collaboration between Genius and the NFL on future activations with FanHub. Advertisement More from FanHub launched in the fall as an omnichannel marketing platform for brands to target sports fans. It allows advertisers the ability to make programmatic and social media placements. In Wednesday's announcement, Genius Sports CEO Mark Locke highlighted the expanded NFL deal as a key milestone for FanHub's rollout, which he believes will set a new standard in a data-driven experience for fans, broadcasters, sportsbooks and sponsors. Genius declined to comment on the financial terms of the partnership. The NFL and Genius first partnered in 2021 after a months-long bidding process, where Genius emerged ahead of rival and previous NFL partner Sportradar. In 2023, they reached an extension that ran through the 2027 NFL season. This deal aligns the two properties through the Super Bowl in February 2030. Advertisement Genius will remain the middleman between the NFL's official data feed and sportsbooks looking to build markets off the fastest possible in-game information. Genius also sells data to media companies—that's the 'Next Gen Stats' fans see on broadcasts—and serves as the exclusive gatekeeper to live game broadcasts that sportsbooks can purchase to show alongside their odds. The NFL is the dominant force in U.S. broadcasting, with 72 games in the top 100 TV broadcasts in 2024. The league is also dominant in U.S. sports betting, as the American Gaming Association projected American adults would bet $35 billion with legal sportsbooks during the 2024 season. Genius will continue to provide 'integrity services' across all NFL games. The NFL was granted 18.5 million Genius shares in the original 2021 deal and 4 million more shares for the 2023 extension. Genius' stock is up 76% over the last 12 months. Advertisement Genius Sports works with more than 700 sports organizations across leagues, sportsbooks, brands and broadcasters, including the EPL, NCAA, DraftKings, FanDuel, Coca-Cola, NBC and ESPN.

Scottish FA announces new partnership with FanHub
The Scottish FA has announced a new partnership with FanHub to reward fans for their backing through exclusive experiences and rewards. Engagement with the free app will give supporters the chance to win money-can't-buy behind-the-scenes access inside national team camps and Hampden Park. Signed strips, sought-after tickets, legend tours and a whole lot more. It's all up for grabs. Supporters can use the FanHub app to predict the starting XI, check in at matches and record matchday memories. Brendan Napier, Scottish Football Marketing's Commercial Director, said: 'We have the most committed, colourful and passionate supporters in the game. 'You only have to look back to the scenes in Germany last summer, which drew admiration from across the football landscape. They are a constant source of pride, never to be taken for granted. 'We are constantly looking for ways to reward supporters for that unwavering loyalty and add value to their experience where we can. 'That's why we are so thrilled to welcome FanHub as the Official Fan Loyalty Partner of the Scotland National Teams. 'They are enthused and driven by supporter engagement and, in turn, will unlock money-can't-buy incentives and prizes for subscribers. 'This is an exciting link-up for us and we look forward to working with the FanHub team to build out our offering to Scotland supporters. Recognising and celebrating their dedication ahead of what promises to be an exciting year.' Gareth Lippiatt, Co-Founder and Chief Executive at FanHub, added: 'Scottish football has something genuinely special. You often hear people say that modern football has lost its soul – but those people haven't been to Hampden on a matchday. 'It's the passion of the fans that first attracted us to this opportunity, and having met so many brilliant people along the way, we're incredibly excited to be part of it. 'We're fans ourselves, so to partner with the Scotland National Team and your iconic fanbase is a surreal moment and a huge privilege.' Like this: Like Related
