Robinhood is moving deeper into prediction markets, announcing it will let users trade on the outcome of pro and college football games ahead of the 2026 season.

### What’s the Scoop?
- **Game Outcomes on the Line:** Users can wager on all pro regular season matchups and games involving college Power 4 schools and independents. The service rolls out in the coming days, in time for the 2026 NFL and NCAA seasons.
- **Kalshi Partnership:** The product builds on Robinhood’s March partnership with Kalshi, a platform that powers Robinhood’s broader prediction markets hub. Kalshi supports crypto payments, including Solana and USDC.
- **Not Endorsed:** Robinhood emphasized its football markets are not endorsed by any professional or college athletic associations.

### Bankless Take:
The global sports gambling market was [estimated](https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/sports-betting-market-report) to be  over $100B in 2024. Robinhood appears keen on capturing this market as it looks to create an exchange tailored for the next generation of financial speculators.
