Through the partnership, Kalshi will offer fans the opportunity to wager on the outcome of each match of the City’s Cup Final. This innovative integration will encourage fans to engage more deeply with the competition, while providing a new way to experience the world’s fastest-growing racquet sport.
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.
