#FoxPartnersWithKalshi Fox Corporation #FoxPartnersWithKalshi Partners with Kalshi to Bring Prediction Market Data to Mainstream News

In a landmark move blending media and finance, Fox Corporation has announced a strategic partnership with Kalshi, the world's largest regulated prediction market, to integrate real-time "crowd odds" across its news platforms. The partnership, announced on April 7, 2026, will see Kalshi's data featured across Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, Fox Weather, and the Fox One streaming platform.

A Sponsored Integration with Real-Time Data

Under the sponsorship agreement, Kalshi will work directly with Fox's data and production teams to provide real-time data access for on-screen graphics and analysis tied to major storylines across politics, economics, weather, and culture. The integration has already begun, with Fox & Friends showcasing a Kalshi forecast on when NASA will successfully land astronauts on the moon.

"More people are watching Kalshi's forecasts than trading them, which says a lot: our data effectively complements news and polls," said Tarek Mansour, Kalshi's co-founder and CEO. "As misinformation grows more common, Kalshi offers accurate, unbiased data to help people better understand what's going on in the world".

Strategic Boundaries and Red Lines

The partnership includes important limitations. Fox News will not use Kalshi data for political coverage, instead relying on its own election and polling division. Additionally, Fox Sports is not initially included, though Kalshi has indicated sports data may be added in the future.

The deal also contains explicit ethical boundaries. A Kalshi spokesperson confirmed that Fox will not air prediction markets on war, terrorism, death, or assassination, as those would create "perverse incentives". This restriction follows recent controversies where prediction markets faced backlash over bets on sensitive geopolitical events.

Mainstream Adoption of Prediction Markets

Fox joins a growing list of major media organizations partnering with Kalshi. The platform previously struck similar agreements with both CNN and CNBC in December 2025, bringing prediction data to their editorial coverage. Even the Federal Reserve has adopted Kalshi's data, calling it "valuable to researchers and policymakers," while politicians have begun referencing their own "Kalshi odds" on the campaign trail.

The partnership reflects a broader trend of prediction markets moving from niche crypto-adjacent tools to mainstream financial infrastructure. Approximately 70% of Kalshi's monthly visitors use the platform primarily to view forecasts rather than to trade, underscoring growing demand for crowd-sourced probability data as an information tool.

Industry Context and Growth

Prediction markets have gained significant popularity following the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Kalshi, founded in 2018, has positioned itself as the largest prediction market globally, offering trading tied to elections, economic indicators, sports, and other real-world outcomes. The company recently raised substantial funding at a multibillion-dollar valuation, highlighting investor confidence in the sector.

Controversies and Legal Landscape

Despite its growth, Kalshi has faced legal challenges. The prediction market is confronting multiple lawsuits across different states regarding its sports-related event contracts, with some states seeking to prohibit the platform from offering such contracts without gaming licenses. The platform asserts that as a federally regulated commodities exchange overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), its offerings supersede state law.

Recent legal developments have been mixed. An appeals court ruled that New Jersey does not have explicit authority over sports-related event contracts offered by CFTC-regulated entities, while a Nevada state judge granted a preliminary injunction barring Kalshi from offering sports, entertainment, and election-related contracts in that state without a gaming license.

Meanwhile, the CFTC has actively defended its regulatory authority over prediction markets, recently suing Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois for attempting to regulate the platforms at the state level. "The CFTC will continue to safeguard its exclusive regulatory authority over these markets and defend market participants against overzealous state regulators," said CFTC Chairman Michael Selig.

Broader Implications

The Fox-Kalshi partnership represents a significant milestone in the evolution of financial media. By integrating prediction market data into mainstream news coverage, Fox is positioning crowd-sourced probability forecasts as a third pillar of news data alongside traditional polling and expert analysis.

For Kalshi, the partnership provides exposure to one of the largest audiences in cable news. Fox News Channel has been the most-watched television news network for 24 consecutive years, while Fox Business Network ranks as the top business channel on cable. Fox News Media reaches nearly 200 million people each month.

The partnership comes as prediction markets face increasing regulatory scrutiny, but also as demand for alternative, data-driven insights continues to grow among audiences seeking new ways to track fast-moving news events. Whether this signals a permanent shift in how news organizations present probability-based information, or a passing trend, remains to be seen.#FoxPartnersWithKalshi
