GRID and Polymarket announce partnership

Esports data intelligence platform GRID is partnering with Polymarket, it announced today.

As a part of this, GRID has said that it will provide real-time data from game servers, live streaming, and match widgets directly on Polymarket.

The financial details for this deal, or its length haven’t been revealed, though. The partnership is currently live and can be experienced in the upcoming League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) 2026 along with the already concluded IEM Cologne Major and VALORANT Masters London.

“Esports moves fast, and so should the markets built on it,” said Ari Borod, the president of sports business development at Polymarket. “GRID gives our users official data with lower latency and access to live streams in real time, all in one place. It’s a better, differentiated experience for traders and a bigger opportunity for the sport.”

Polymarket adds esports livestreams and real-time data

The most visible difference from this new partnership is a direct livestream option in Polymarket’s esports markets. Now, just open an esports prediction market on Polymarket and right on the center, you will be able to see a tab for live esports viewing. However, you do need to login to start watching.

Therefore, people will be able to directly watch the games from Polymarket itself as they make their predictions.

Furthermore, the GRID deal includes data as well. Users will likely have access to real-time data that the platform pulls directly from inside VALORANT, CS2, and League of Legends to make more informed predictions.

This partnership follows GRID’s existing deal, announced in November 2025, with Sportstensor, the official market maker and liquidity provider for Polymarket.

It seems that with esports wagering on the rise, Polymarket is now engaging directly with GRID to provide livestreams on its platforms along with real-time data.

With this partnership, GRID continues to solidify itself as a leader in the esports data space. It has existing partnerships with ESL and Riot Games as well.

According to an Oddin.gg report, 2025 was a big growth year for esports betting. Esports betting volume increased by 30 percent in Counter-Strike, 31 percent in Dota 2, 46 percent in League of Legends, 18 percent in VALORANT, and a staggering 62 percent in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), when compared to 2024.

Coupled with the rise of prediction markets, this makes the perfect opportunity for platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket to capitalize. We took a look at this opportunity in our recent article on why esports are a perfect fit for prediction markets.
