The sports data and technology company is crediting its recent IMG Arena acquisition and extension of its FIFA partnership record revenues
Sportradar posted record revenues of just under $1.3bn for the 2025 financial year, with its sports division its second-most successful segment after closing its IMG Arena deal.
Full year revenue was up 17% from $1.1bn to just under $1.3bn. Q4 2025 revenue also increased from the quarter prior by 20%, from $307.1m to $368.9m.
The ‘sports content, technology, and services’ segment was the company’s second-highest revenue driver, behind its ‘betting and gaming’ segment.
Revenue attributed to the sports content segment increased by 22% for the year, from $230m to $281m. This was primarily driven by a 24% growth in marketing and media services due to increased spending from technology and media customers and contributions from affiliates.
Despite this growth, the ‘sports performance and integrity services’ segment saw declines year-on-year in Q4, down 19% for the former to $8.9m ($11m) and 7% to $4.5m ($4.8m) for the latter.
The betting and gaming segment was the highest-revenue driver for Sportradar, increasing 15% from $1.05bn in 2024, to $1.214bn. This was primarily driven by a 16% increase in Betting and Gaming Content due to customer uptake related to the acquisition of IMG Arena.
Sportradar also cited US market growth, as well as the Managed Betting Services segment generating $266m for the overall segment’s growth.
The IMG Arena acquisition was closed in November 2025, stated Sportradar, and complements the company’s existing sports rights portfolio by adding more than 70 rights holders for 38,000 data events and 29,000 streaming events in 14 sports.
The company reported its sports coverage now totals more than one million matches annually.
Carsten Koerl, Chief Executive Officer of Sportradar, said: “Sportradar concluded 2025 with another quarter of strong performance, demonstrating significant momentum across our business as we continued to drive innovation and customer adoption.
“For the full year, we delivered on all fronts, achieving record revenue, substantial margin expansion and increased free cash flow generation.
“These results underscore the durability of our growth strategy and our mission-critical role within the global sports ecosystem. The acquisition of IMG further strengthens our competitive position, and we are rapidly integrating and monetising this premium content across our global customer base.”
Sportradar’s FIFA extension
Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Sportradar announced the extension of its integrity services agreement with FIFA in a five-year deal which expires in 2031.
Sportradar will continue to use its AI-based bet monitoring system for bets placed at the World Cup in North America, as well as expanding these services to intelligence and investigation support, and risk assessment services to FIFA and its 211 member associations.
These integrity services will also be used across senior men’s and women’s domestic matches from the top two tiers; and the national cup competitions across all member associations.
Andreas Krannich, Sportradar’s EVP Integrity Services, said: “The expansion of our integrity agreement with FIFA further strengthens the ability to identify, assess and respond to risks in an increasingly complex global picture.
“It underlines both organisations’ commitment to fair and clean sport at all levels globally.”
The extension comes at a potentially pivotal time for the betting industry, FIFA and Sportradar, as reports such as Spotlight Sports Group’s World Cup 2026 Betting Outlook, reveal a surge is set to take place for bets placed at a World Cup.
