Liga MX names Polymarket its exclusive prediction market partner for the US

LIGA MX has announced a new agreement that will see prediction market Polymarket become an official sponsor of LIGA MX in the US territory. Genius Sports will provide official data and integrity information-sharing services underpinning the partnership. 

Polymarket will become the exclusive prediction market partner of LIGA MX in the U.S. market, covering league competitions including Campeón de Campeones. The annual match between the LIGA MX Apertura and Clausura champions is scheduled for July 25, 2026, in Carson, California.

Genius Sports, LIGA MX’s official data, streaming, and integrity partner, will supply verified match data through its GeniusIQ platform, which operates across all LIGA MX stadiums. This data will serve as the official source for settlement of LIGA MX-related prediction markets on Polymarket, ensuring outcomes are resolved using authoritative league information.

As part of the arrangement, Polymarket will also integrate Genius Sports’ integrity information-sharing framework, providing leagues with enhanced visibility into market activity linked to their competitions. The company noted that this complements its broader integrity systems, including on-chain monitoring with Chainalysis and sports integrity tools developed with Palantir Technologies and TWG AI.

“This partnership with Polymarket represents an innovative opportunity to further engage our passionate fanbase in such an important market for LIGA MX as the US territory is, through new digital experiences, while maintaining the integrity and credibility that are fundamental to our competitions,” LIGA MX Commercial Vice President José Romano said.

Polymarket President of Sports Business Development Ari Borod highlighted that LIGA MX is one of the most widely followed football leagues globally. "Genius Sports' official data and integrity infrastructure ensures every LIGA MX market on Polymarket is built on the foundation of trust and transparency the league and its fans deserve," he added.

Additionally, Genius Sports CEO Mark Locke said the deal reflects the growing importance of verified data in both sports engagement and integrity monitoring. “We’re proud to support this partnership by providing the official data and integrity infrastructure that helps power transparent, trusted prediction markets around LIGA MX competitions.”

Polymarket’s LIGA MX prediction markets are expected to launch for eligible U.S. users beginning with the 2026–27 season, which starts in July 2026.
