Sportradar reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of €363m, up 24% year-on-year, with profit rising 20% to €27m. The company also agreed a $170m divestment of Atrium Sports shortly after the quarter ended, a move relevant to sports-data and betting-technology firms.
Why it matters
Growth was led by the US market and by demand for premium sports content, data and technology, including monetisation of acquired IMG ARENA rights and contributions from prediction markets. For operators in sports data, betting technology and media rights, the results show where paying demand is concentrating.
Sportradar's Q3 2026 revenue rose from €296m to €363m, with US revenue up 47% and adjusted EBITDA up 21% to €102m. Full-year 2026 guidance calls for 19-21% constant-currency revenue growth to €1.518bn-€1.533bn.
The players
Sportradar
A sports data, technology and betting solutions company whose business spans media rights, data feeds and betting technology for operators worldwide.
Atrium Sports
A sports business unit that Sportradar agreed to divest for $170m shortly after the close of Q3 2026.
The details
Sportradar integrated and monetised the IMG ARENA sports rights it acquired during the quarter, turning them into revenue. Its Betting Technology & Solutions division grew 27% to €297m, while the company attributed broader fan engagement and the prediction-markets sector as additional demand drivers. The $170m Atrium Sports sale is expected to close before the end of 2026 and will reshape the portfolio.
Timeline
Q3 2025: comparison quarter for year-on-year results.
Q3 2026: quarter reporting 24% revenue growth to €363m.
Shortly after Q3 2026 ended: $170m Atrium Sports divestment agreed.
Before end of 2026: expected closing of the Atrium Sports divestment.
Market Landscape
Sportradar's results sit within a sports-betting and data sector that has expanded since the 2018 Murphy v. NCAA ruling opened US markets to legal wagering. Its Rest of the World business still contributes 73% of revenue, showing the company's dependence on international demand.
Operators in sports data and betting technology should weigh US demand growth against the concentration of revenue outside the US. Finance teams tracking vendor and partner risk should monitor how the Atrium Sports sale affects the sector's content-rights and data-supply landscape before the expected closing.
The takeaway
The strongest signal is that US growth outpaced the group, pointing to where operators should look for expansion. Track the Atrium Sports closing before end-2026 and the full-year guidance of 19-21% constant-currency revenue growth as the next measures of whether the trend holds.
