What's the Scoop?
- What Turf built: A real-time, fan-first NFL prediction game where users called plays and outcomes as games unfolded, with friendly competitions and live chats. It launched on the App Store in early 2026 after about a year of development from its founders.
- Not new territory: Turf and Polymarket already partnered in April 2026 to bring prediction markets into Turf's product, so today's move extends an existing relationship.
- The framing: Polymarket called Turf "[b]eautifully designed & built by a team that already understood sports prediction markets." The deal lands amid a broader Polymarket hiring push, including new compliance and growth executives brought on this month, ahead of the NFL season and November's midterms, two of the platform's biggest expected volume drivers this year.
