- NHL announced partnership with Kashi and Polymarket last October
Another step forward for prediction markets with the announcement Polymarket has signed a deal with Madison Square Garden Sports Corp, naming the company the Official Prediction Market Partner of the NHL’s New York Rangers.
Hockey fans who attend games at Madison Square Garden will soon notice Polymarket featured all over the arena – including LED signage, on-ice contests, concourse activations and digitally-enhanced dasherboard signage during locally and nationally televised Rangers games.
The Rangers have one of the most dedicated fanbases in sports, and this partnership introduces a new, dynamic layer of engagement to the fan experience,” said Shayne Coplan, Founder and CEO of Polymarket.
Polymarket Featured Heavily
“Prediction markets offer fans a real-time, interactive way to connect with the game, and the Rangers are an ideal franchise to bring this experience to a broader audience.”
Indeed, the Rangers are an Original Six NHL franchise. It hasn’t been a banner year so far for the team on the ice – a record of 20-20, 14th in the Eastern Conference, well out of a playoff spot – but the power behind the brand, the legacy of the franchise, and the passion of the fanbase there is unlike any other.
NHL Deal Last Fall
“This is a landmark partnership for the Rangers in this new and exciting category, and Polymarket is the perfect fit as one of the most reliable and forward-thinking prediction market operators,” said Jamaal Lesane, Chief Operating Officer, MSG Sports.
“Polymarket becomes not just an Official Partner of the Rangers, but they will also be involved across digital channels, fan activations and promotions at Rangers games.”
Storied Franchise
In October the NHL announced a landmark multiyear U.S. agreement with Polymarket and Kalshi, naming both Official Prediction Market Partners of the NHL. Last November Polymarket was named the Official and Exclusive Prediction Market Partner of UFC and Zuffa Boxing.
Kalshi has a similar deal with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Polymarket will also have a big presence during Rangers games on MSG Networks, including becoming Presenting Partner of “In-Game Polls”.
