Kalshi Signs Multi-Year MLB Partnerships with Five Teams Including Dodgers and Red Sox
TL;DR — Kalshi signed multi-year deals with five MLB teams, its first baseball partnerships, gaining stadium branding and fan promotions. Baseball trading volume rose more than 36 times year over year with nearly $60 million on World Series futures. Competitors Novig and Polymarket recently partnered with Mets and Yankees.
SCCG Take — The moves secure Kalshi direct fan access amid surging baseball volumes, even as Massachusetts proceedings remain unresolved.
Kalshi has signed multi-year agreements with the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants. The deals make Kalshi the official prediction market partner for each club and mark the company’s first MLB partnerships. The five teams reach between 60 million and 65 million fans and hold a combined social media audience of roughly nine million followers on X, covering nearly 17% of MLB franchises.
“The idea is that fans are already engaging with their favorite teams on Kalshi, so it only makes sense to extend that fandom to some of the most beloved baseball teams in America,” said Adam Barrick, Head of Sports Partnerships at Kalshi.
Branding Rights and Promotional Access
The arrangements deliver stadium signage, LED displays, digital promotions, radio exposure and fan engagement activities. The Dodgers partnership includes naming rights to the Gold Glove Bar at Dodger Stadium plus branded LED signage and activations in Centerfield Plaza. Comparable marketing elements apply across the Braves, Red Sox, Padres and Giants deals.
Trading Surge and Competitive Field
Baseball trading volume on the platform has expanded more than 36 times year over year, with nearly $60 million traded on the World Series futures market alone. The expansion follows Novig’s agreement with the New York Mets on July 30 and Polymarket’s deal with the New York Yankees on August 6. Kalshi, founded in 2018 as a regulated exchange, already holds partnerships with the National Hockey League, Chicago Blackhawks, LALIGA North America and Argentina Football Association. An injunction targeting its sports event contracts in Massachusetts remains paused on appeal, as reported by World Casino News.
Partnership Timing in Regulatory Context
These agreements arrive as prediction market operators intensify pursuit of sports visibility. The deals give Kalshi direct lines to active fan bases already trading baseball outcomes. Sustained volume growth and competitor activity suggest further MLB partnerships will turn on how regulatory reviews resolve in active jurisdictions.
