- PrizePicks and Polymarket team up to expand beyond fantasy sports.

PrizePicks, a popular daily fantasy sports platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Polymarket, a decentralized prediction market protocol. This collaboration marks a major shift from traditional fantasy sports to broader event-based predictions, allowing users to engage in markets beyond just athletic performance.
Polymarket, known for its on-chain prediction markets, lets users bet on real-world events such as elections, celebrity outcomes, or even global affairs. The partnership opens up the opportunity for PrizePicks users to explore a wider array of topics, blending the entertainment of fantasy with the utility of decentralized forecasts.
Tapping Into New Markets: Sports, Entertainment, and More
The integration aims to bring new prediction markets to life — including entertainment award shows, political developments, and current events — all backed by crypto-based transparency and decentralization. This evolution aligns with the increasing demand for real-world utility within the Web3 space.
By joining forces, PrizePicks and Polymarket are bridging the gap between traditional fantasy sports audiences and blockchain-native communities. It’s a move that could onboard millions into on-chain predictions, transforming passive viewership into active participation.
What This Means for the Industry
This partnership signals a broader trend in the crypto space: the convergence of entertainment, real-world utility, and decentralized technology. As users look for more engaging ways to interact with the world around them, platforms like Polymarket — enhanced by PrizePicks’ large user base — are positioned to lead the next wave of user adoption in Web3.
It also raises questions about regulatory clarity and platform responsibility, but for now, it represents a clear step forward in the evolution of predictive platforms.
