Genius Sports has strengthened its position in the global sports data market with an exclusive agreement to supply betting data and video streaming for Italy’s top-tier football competitions. The multi-year deal includes coverage of Serie A, Coppa Italia, and Supercoppa Italiana fixtures, running until the end of the 2028-29 season.
Under the agreement, Genius Sports will serve as the sole distributor of official match data and international betting streams, delivering this content to its global sportsbook network. The partnership also grants access to tracking data for media use, enabling advanced broadcast augmentation, match reports, and in-depth analysis.
This deal significantly boosts Genius Sports’ in-play product, BetVision, which combines live streaming with interactive stats overlays, enhancing bettor engagement.
Competitive Win After Legal Turmoil
Previously, Stats Perform held the rights between 2021 and 2024, but an attempt to extend that contract fell through, leading to an ongoing legal dispute. In March, the Court of Milan ruled against Serie A’s request for immediate execution of a contested contract, allowing Genius Sports to proceed with the new tender.
Genius emerged as the winner from a June 2025 tender that included five packages for betting data, streaming, and tracking rights across international and domestic markets.
Broader Context and Growth
This marks another major football acquisition for Genius, which recently secured data rights from 18 European leagues, including the Belgian Pro League, Eredivisie, and Danish League.
With these deals in place, Genius now holds one of the strongest global portfolios in the sports betting data industry, alongside NFL, Premier League, and now Serie A.
The agreement is expected to contribute positively to the company’s commercial performance and future revenue guidance.
