Fanatics Launches Prediction Markets Across 24 States Now

Fanatics has launched Fanatics Markets, a new prediction platform available across 24 US states, offering fans a unique opportunity to trade on sports, finance, and cultural events. The phased rollout began on December 3, 2025, covering ten states initially, with full expansion across California, Florida, Texas, and Washington by December 5.

The platform leverages pricing and market access through Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (CDNA), a Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) registered exchange. Contracts currently cover sports, finance, economics, and politics, with plans to include crypto, stocks, entertainment, and climate markets in 2026. Fanatics Markets integrates with the broader Fanatics ecosystem, allowing users to trade with a shared wallet while implementing responsible trading tools such as deposit limits, session restrictions, and self-exclusion.

Matt King, CEO of Fanatics Betting and Gaming, emphasized that the platform extends the company’s long-standing engagement with sports fans, providing an intuitive way to interact with moments that shape sports and culture. The move aligns with broader industry trends, where regulated prediction markets have seen rapid growth alongside online sports betting. Competitors including DraftKings and FanDuel have also recently entered the space.

By combining sports, finance, and cultural events in a single platform, Fanatics aims to position itself as a major player in a market projected to grow significantly over the next decade. Fanatics Markets offers fans a secure and compliant environment to make predictions while remaining engaged with events they care about. The platform is accessible via iOS and Android apps, reinforcing Fanatics’ commitment to innovation and fan-focused experiences.

With this strategic expansion, Fanatics underscores its ambition to diversify its offerings and capitalize on a rapidly evolving prediction market landscape in the United States.
