NFL Bans Prediction Market Ads For Super Bowl

The NFL will ban prediction-market commercials during Super Bowl 2026, the Patriots vs. Seahawks game on Feb. 8, according to Front Office Sports. The league, which barred such ads at the start of the 2025 season, cites lack of safeguards like protections against market manipulation and official data requirements; sportsbooks may still advertise but are limited to six spots and $10 million 30-second rates.
