Catalist Sports Becomes Kalshi’s First Streaming Partner
United States.- 9 September 2026 | www.zonadeazar.com Catalist Sports has signed a multi-year agreement with Kalshi to become the prediction-market platform’s first sports-streaming partner.
The partnership gives Kalshi exclusive US prediction-market access to Catalist Sports’ global live-streaming portfolio.
It will also provide official low-latency data used to create, manage and settle sports event markets.
First Streaming Agreement for Kalshi
The partnership marks the first time Kalshi has formally added a sports live-streaming provider.
Until now, its sports proposition has largely been built around event contracts and associated data.
Adding live video is intended to bring official sports content directly into the trading experience.
Exclusive US Access
Kalshi will receive exclusive access within the US prediction-market sector to Catalist Sports’ streaming portfolio.
The exclusivity applies specifically to the use of these rights within US prediction markets and remains subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
More Than 65,000 Tennis Matches
Tennis will form one of the largest components of the agreement.
The portfolio spans more than 65,000 matches annually.
Content includes:
- World Tennis Tour.
- Australian Open.
- Davis Cup.
- Additional international tennis events.
The scale of coverage significantly expands Kalshi’s tennis proposition.
Live Streaming and Official Data
The deal combines two strategically important elements:
- Official live video.
- Official low-latency data.
The data will support the creation, management and settlement of prediction markets.
The combination is intended to give users a more integrated environment in which they can follow an event while interacting with available contracts.
International Football
The agreement also adds international football properties from Catalist Sports’ global portfolio.
The expansion follows heightened US interest in football after the 2026 World Cup.
Football is becoming an increasingly important category within sports-focused prediction markets.
Basketball and Ice Hockey
Beyond tennis and football, the partnership also includes a growing portfolio of international:
- Basketball.
- Ice hockey.
This will allow Kalshi to diversify its sporting content beyond major US leagues.
Data for Market Creation and Settlement
Catalist’s official feeds will serve an operational as well as a commercial role.
Low-latency data can provide trusted information directly from competitions to support:
- Market creation.
- Information updates.
- Market management.
- Result determination.
- Contract settlement.
New Distribution Channel for Sports Rights
For Catalist Sports, prediction markets represent another route for distributing premium sports content.
The partnership extends rights that have traditionally been monetised through broadcasters, sportsbooks and other sports platforms.
Prediction markets are therefore emerging as an additional commercial channel for rights holders.
Statements
Catalist Sports Vice President and General Manager James Monk said the agreement combines the company’s premium official-rights portfolio with a leading US prediction-market platform.
He highlighted the opportunity to generate additional value for rights-holder partners while providing a richer and more trusted fan experience.
Monk also said prediction markets are increasingly becoming a new distribution channel for premium sports content.
Arjun Sawai, Markets at Kalshi, confirmed that Catalist Sports is the platform’s first streaming partner.
He said pairing exclusive live video with official data puts the core tools sports traders need into a single experience and supports Kalshi’s focus on reliable regulated markets.
Official Content as a Differentiator
Adding official streaming represents an important change in the prediction-market experience.
Rather than relying exclusively on external information, users may be able to access selected live content directly alongside relevant markets.
This model could strengthen:
- Trust.
- Engagement.
- Time spent on the platform.
- Real-time event interaction.
Industry Context
Prediction markets are rapidly increasing their presence within the US sports ecosystem.
Growth in contracts tied to sporting outcomes is pushing these platforms into areas historically associated with traditional sportsbooks.
Deals involving streaming rights and official sports data represent another stage in that evolution.
Next Steps or Impact
Kalshi will progressively integrate Catalist Sports streaming and data across its US sports offering.
Tennis will receive one of the largest expansions, with more than 65,000 annual matches included in the portfolio.
For Catalist Sports, the agreement creates a new distribution channel for its sports rights, while for Kalshi it represents a move towards a more integrated prediction-market experience built around official video and data.
