(PRESS RELEASE) -- Polymarket, the world's largest prediction market, and Splash Sports, the leader in skill-based social sports gaming, today announced a new partnership that will bring prediction markets to Splash users beginning with the 2026 NFL season. As part of the partnership, Polymarket will also sponsor the world's largest pro football survivor contest, featuring a record $21 million in guaranteed prizes.
Additional highlights include:
- Splash integrates Polymarket's event-driven trading into its platform as a CFTC-registered Introducing Broker, giving its 2 million active users access to prediction markets alongside survivor, pick'em, daily fantasy, and commissioner-led contests.
- A standalone Splash Market tab in the Splash app, powered by Polymarket, with markets embedded throughout existing games and user experiences
"The next phase of sports engagement will be defined by the gamification of live events," said Shayne Coplan, Founder and CEO of Polymarket. "Splash has built one of the largest skill-based social sports communities in the United States and I’ve personally been a user of their legacy brand for many years. We believe that partnering with them for the biggest survivor contest in history is the perfect way to bring prediction markets to NFL fans at scale."
“Polymarket helped bring prediction markets to the mainstream with their mobile-first product during the 2024 election, becoming the prediction market of record globally," said TJ Ross, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Splash Sports. "We're doing the same for the survivor format. For decades, the biggest contest in this category required a flight to Las Vegas, a hotel, and a paid proxy. Now anyone with a phone in 35+ states (plus Canada) can play in the largest survivor contest in history."
“Our 2 million users are playing in contests all season long, and with this partnership, we can now put the most interesting markets in front of our highly engaged audience to complement their strategy at relevant times throughout the season as they compete,” said Joel Milton, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Splash Sports. “Whether a user is hedging their survivor pick in Week 18, increasing their position on picks they like, or exploring markets while they watch real-time leaderboard updates, markets will enhance the games our users already know and love.”
