Press releases. Genius Sports, NBA All-Star Chris Paul and Words + Pictures launch new athlete-led sports media company. 9 September 2026 Genius Sports Limited ("Genius Sports") (NYSE: GENI), a global leader in sports data and technology, and NBA All-Star and entrepreneur Chris Paul today announced the launch of a new athlete-led sports media company created in partnership with Paul's Ohh Dip!!! Entertainment and Connor Schell's Words + Pictures. The new company will develop original sports programming and content franchises built around the perspectives of athletes and creators, combining their access and expertise with Genius Sports' official data, AI and technology. Its first programming will be hosted by Chris Paul, giving fans a new way to see, understand and experience the game through the perspective of one of basketball's most accomplished players. The company will also build a broader network of athlete and creator talent, developing programming designed to scale across social, digital and other media platforms. Connor Schell, Paul's creative partner and founder and CEO of Words + Pictures, will lead premium production and storytelling for the new company. Schell is one of the sports media industry's leading producers and executives, with a track record that includes The Last Dance and ESPN's 30 for 30. For brands, the new company will create new sponsorship and integration opportunities around original athlete-led programming, data-powered storytelling and recurring content franchises. Genius Sports will serve as the exclusive commercialization partner for the venture, connecting brand partners with its programming and Genius Sports' broader media ecosystem. Paul has worked with Genius Sports' technology for more than a decade, using its performance and analytics tools throughout his NBA career to analyze his own performance, upcoming opponents, and trends across the game. A 12-time NBA All-Star, four-time All-NBA First Team selection and two-time Olympic gold medalist, Paul ranks second all-time in career assists and steals. "The future of sports media belongs to the people who can bring fans closer to the game," said Chris Paul. "Athletes understand the details, decisions and moments that fans don't always get to see. By partnering with Genius Sports, we can combine that perspective with incredible data and technology to educate fans and tell stories in entirely new ways." Through its GeniusIQ platform, Genius Sports provides AI-powered tracking, data and technology across some of the world's leading sports leagues, including the WNBA and English Premier League, capturing billions of data points that can be transformed into new insights and fan experiences. "Fans increasingly want to hear directly from the athletes who know the game best," said Mark Locke, CEO of Genius Sports.

By combining that with Genius Sports' data, AI, technology and media reach, we have an opportunity to build a differentiated sports media company and a powerful new platform for brands." "Chris has always had an incredible ability to see the game differently," said Connor Schell, founder and CEO of Words + Pictures. "Combining that perspective with Genius Sports' data and technology gives us a powerful foundation for creating sports programming that feels fresh, insightful and entertaining."

Genius Sports now settles contracts for both Kalshi and Polymarket. Genius Sports signed official-data, integrity, and marketing agreements with Polymarket on Aug. 4 and Kalshi on Aug. 5, putting one supplier underneath the settlement layer of both rival prediction platforms. The company's second-quarter results, published a day later, already credit prediction markets with an incremental contribution to margin. Key takeaways. * Genius Sports signed Polymarket on Aug. 4 and Kalshi on Aug. 5. * Genius booked prediction-market revenue in Q2, before either deal was signed. * Q2 revenue rose 65% to $195.5M; Genius still posted a $76.7M net loss. One data supplier playing both sides of the prediction-market rivalry. Genius Sports will supply Kalshi with real-time official data across its full soccer portfolio, including the English Premier League, Serie A, Liga MX, the Argentine Primera División, and French Ligue 1, under an agreement announced Aug. 5. Kalshi will use the verified feeds as a single source of truth for settling sports event contracts, join Genius's information-sharing processes, restrict certain market types, and take marketing services through Genius's Legend-owned media properties - the review and comparison sites bettors land on when they search for a sportsbook or casino, which earn a fee each time a reader signs up with an operator. "As the prediction market ecosystem continues to expand at a rapid pace, the use of official data and integrity services is more important than ever," said Adam Barrick, head of sports partnerships at Kalshi. The Polymarket agreement, announced a day earlier, covers the same settlement data and integrity services but adds exclusive U.S. livestreaming rights and league intellectual property across selected competitions, including Serie A. It took effect immediately for eligible U.S. users. The Kalshi release names no start date. Neither company disclosed financial terms. Chief executive Mark Locke said on Thursday that the two deals reflect a deliberate position: "We own the official data that the regulated ecosystem, sportsbooks, media, and now prediction markets depend on, and we own the audience layer on top of it." He said demand is rising with prediction-market operators entering the sector. Genius told investors the Legend acquisition brings roughly 180 million owned users, and that sales and marketing costs rose $3 million against $77 million of revenue growth in the quarter. Genius reported second-quarter results on Aug. 6: revenue up 65% to $195.5 million against $185 million of guidance, adjusted EBITDA up 54% to $52.6 million against $45 million guided, and a group adjusted EBITDA margin of 26.9%, 258 basis points above the margin implied by guidance. The company attributed that beat to early Legend synergies, execution in media, and an incremental contribution from prediction markets. Because both partnerships were announced after the June 30 quarter end, neither produced that contribution. Genius raised full-year revenue guidance to $1.005 billion to $1.025 billion and adjusted EBITDA to $285 million to $295 million. Net loss widened to $76.7 million from $53.9 million, attributed largely to costs tied to Legend, and the half-year loss reached $132.2 million. Media technology revenue, the division Legend sits in, rose 192.8% to $78.2 million with only two months of contribution; betting technology rose 27.5% to $117.4 million on renewal pricing and expanded services. Genius closed the Legend acquisition on May 1 in a transaction valued at up to $1.2 billion, bringing Covers.com, Casino.org, and Casino Guru under the same roof as its official-data operation. Investors read the two announcements as a repricing. Genius shares rose 14.3% on Tuesday following the Polymarket news and added roughly 2% more on Wednesday after the Kalshi deal, closing at $8.33, up almost 25% on the week. Kalshi named Sportradar an official data provider in June for MLB, NHL, MLS, and UFC content, with live odds, integrity monitoring, and marketing attached. Nothing in the Genius announcement says it displaces that arrangement or grants exclusivity, and the soccer portfolio covers different leagues. Both platforms also worked with Genius during the World Cup, when it supplied official data for Kalshi's Argentine Football Association partnership and supported Polymarket's Liga MX sponsorship in the U.S. This week's deals convert those single-property arrangements into platform-level relationships. The Block's dashboard puts July combined volume across Kalshi, Polymarket, and Polymarket US at a record $50.59 billion, up 7.8% from a June baseline the dashboard has since revised upward to $46.95 billion. Kalshi accounted for $37.7 billion of it. Trading volume does not equal the total money staked - contracts are resold repeatedly, so the figure overstates funds at risk. Even with the World Cup now firmly in the rear-view mirror, it makes sense for these platforms to lean further into soccer properties in the autumn. Open interest across the three venues fell from about $2 billion at the start of July to $1.2 billion by month's end, after the July 19 final. Polymarket's international platform fell 26% to $7.9 billion even as its U.S. arm rose 54% to $5 billion. The legal ground shifted in the same week: on Aug. 4, a federal judge granted Utah summary judgment against Kalshi, rejecting every preemption theory the exchange raised over its sports event contracts, a decision it is appealing to the Tenth Circuit.
