Through the partnership, Kalshi will offer subscribers and PPL fans the opportunity to wager on the outcome of each match of the City’s Cup Final. The Kalshi brand will be prominently featured throughout the event, including in-venue signage, broadcast integration of live odds, and digital placements.

Additionally, Kalshi will promote the partnership across its user base, while Kalshi’s broker partners will have the option to integrate Kalshi’s City’s Cup match predictions into their platforms.

“Kalshi is redefining how fans interact with the sports they love, and partnering with the Pro Padel League allows us to showcase the power of prediction markets in an exciting, fast-growing sport,” said Brandon Beckhardt, the Chief of Staff at Kalshi, in a news release. “This collaboration creates a new dimension of engagement for fans of padel, giving them a stake in every match.”

The agreement comes on the heels of Kalshi's partnership announcement with the Pro Pickleball Association in early September

“The Pro Padel League is committed to creating unforgettable fan experiences, and this partnership with Kalshi brings a completely new layer of excitement to the City’s Cup Final,” said Diane Gotua, Chief Commercial Officer of the PPL. “By integrating Kalshi’s innovative prediction markets, we’re giving fans more ways than ever to feel connected to the action on court, and we’re thrilled to debut this first-of-its-kind partnership in padel.”
