WASHINGTON (March 23, 2026) – Major League Baseball has struck a reported $300 million deal with Polymarket, naming the platform its official prediction market partner and granting it exclusive rights to team logos.
For insight into this partnership, consider a conversation with Lisa Delpy Neirotti, director of the Sport Management Program at the George Washington University School of Business. She can discuss the potential risks to competitive integrity and public trust, as well as the likelihood that collegiate athletics, including NCAA conferences, may follow suit.
Professor Neirotti studies the economics, marketing, and ethics of global sport and has consulted on major international sporting events, including the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup.
