Strategic Growth in North America
The deal is part of a broader strategy to expand the league’s footprint in the region. This initiative is supported by a 20-year joint venture between LALIGA and Relevent, which was originally launched in 2018.
Boris Gartner, Relevent CEO & Partner
Soccer’s growth, especially in North America, is spearheaded by young, diverse and multicultural audiences who consume the game across multiple screens, so it’s our goal to continue to engage these demographics in new and unique ways,
Gartner further noted that moving beyond traditional engagement efforts is imperative to bring audiences closer to the sport, identifying Polymarket as the ideal partner for this objective.
Market Context and Regional Partnerships
Polymarket joins a group of established regional partners for LALIGA North America, which includes companies such as McDonald’s, Walmart, Verizon, Lowe’s, Panini, and Remitly.
The entry of a prediction market into the European soccer landscape follows a trend of increasing interest in non-mainstream sports in North America, driven in part by the rise of the prediction industry and sports betting.
With this agreement, Polymarket expands its soccer portfolio in the region. The platform now holds agreements involving LALIGA, as well as the MLS, the MLS Cup, the Leagues Cup, and the MLS All-Star game.
