NHL deepens ties as Rangers sign with Polymarket — the only major league to embrace prediction markets

Rangers deal extends NHL’s prediction-market links

The Rangers have signed an agreement with Polymarket, adding another team-level connection between the NHL and prediction-market platforms, according to gamblerss.com.

The agreement comes two weeks after Kalshi’s deal with the Blackhawks. That earlier arrangement was the first formal partnership between a prediction-market platform and a North American professional team, the outlet reported.

The two deals place Polymarket and Kalshi alongside different NHL teams. According to gamblerss.com, the NHL remains the only major league to embrace prediction markets.

The available summary does not disclose the Rangers agreement’s financial terms, duration or commercial scope. With the full source text unavailable, those details cannot be assessed.

What it means for prediction markets

• Team partnerships are expanding: The Rangers agreement follows the Blackhawks pact by two weeks, giving both Polymarket and Kalshi an NHL team relationship.
• The broader league picture remains limited: The reporting identifies the NHL as the only major league embracing prediction markets; it does not establish that other leagues are preparing similar deals.
• Commercial impact is unclear: The available material provides no basis for measuring how either partnership might affect platform participation or trading activity.
