Robinhood is moving deeper into prediction markets, announcing it will let users trade on the outcome of pro and college football games ahead of the 2026 season.

What’s the Scoop?

  • Game Outcomes on the Line: Users can wager on all pro regular season matchups and games involving college Power 4 schools and independents. The service rolls out in the coming days, in time for the 2026 NFL and NCAA seasons.
  • Kalshi Partnership: The product builds on Robinhood’s March partnership with Kalshi, a platform that powers Robinhood’s broader prediction markets hub. Kalshi supports crypto payments, including Solana and USDC.
  • Not Endorsed: Robinhood emphasized its football markets are not endorsed by any professional or college athletic associations.

Bankless Take:

The global sports gambling market was estimated to be over $100B in 2024. Robinhood appears keen on capturing this market as it looks to create an exchange tailored for the next generation of financial speculators.
