Robinhood announced the launch of a professional and collegiate football prediction market where users can place bets on game results. “All regular season pro matchups, as well as all college Power 4 schools and independents, are now available for customers to trade on the results of the most popular pro and college football games,” the company said in a statement.
According to the company, the new service will be launched just before the 2026 NCAA College Football and National Football League seasons. “In America, football is by far the most popular sport,” stated JB Mackenzie, VP of Futures and International at Robinhood. “Since our goal is to make Robinhood a one-stop shop for all your trading and investing needs, it makes perfect sense for us to include professional and collegiate football in our prediction markets hub.”
Robinhood previously halted its plans to allow users to trade on the Super Bowl in February after receiving a notice from the NFL.
Robinhood seemed to steer clear of making any overt references to the NFL or NCAA. “No professional or collegiate athletic association, professional or collegiate football team that is a member of any professional or collegiate football league, or any other company, agency, or government entity endorses pro and college football prediction markets,” the company stated.
