FIFA World Cup 2026 has integrated a blockchain-powered prediction platform into DAZN's live broadcast for the Spain vs Belgium quarterfinal match on July 10 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. ADI Predictstreet, serving as FIFA's official prediction market partner for the 2026 tournament, enables viewers to submit real-time predictions on match results, player performances, and in-game events directly within the streaming platform. The integration represents DAZN's continued adoption of blockchain technologies, moving beyond promotional uses to embed blockchain functionality within live sports broadcasts.
ADI Predictstreet Launches Free-to-Play Platform in June 2026
ADI Predictstreet launched its free-to-play platform in June 2026 as part of a strategy to attract a broad user base before introducing additional regulated services through authorized partners. Users can initially participate in prediction contests without financial commitments, while those seeking enhanced features may later access regulated offerings where available under local laws. Participants can compete on leaderboards for rewards, including opportunities to win tickets to FIFA World Cup matches.
The platform operates on ADI Chain's blockchain infrastructure, with the ADI token serving as the network's native digital asset. The token is used to process gas fees and facilitate transactions across the ecosystem. Prediction submissions, leaderboard updates, and prize distributions are processed through the blockchain network using the token.
DAZN Integrates Blockchain Prediction Markets into Live World Cup Broadcast
The partnership provides DAZN with additional audience engagement tools while giving ADI Predictstreet exposure to a global sports audience during one of the world's largest sporting events. The arrangement reflects FIFA's interest in adopting emerging digital technologies that can enhance the fan experience without altering the core competition. DAZN has previously explored digital asset initiatives through partnerships and blockchain-related projects, but the latest integration places blockchain functionality directly within its live sports broadcasts rather than using it primarily for promotional purposes.
The collaboration allows fans to interact with live matches beyond traditional viewing experiences by combining live sports viewing with interactive digital engagement. The initiative is intended to increase fan engagement through real-time participation in prediction markets integrated into the streaming platform.
Prediction Market Services Subject to Local Regulatory Requirements
The expansion of prediction markets remains subject to varying regulatory requirements across jurisdictions. Rules governing these services differ significantly from one country to another, meaning features available in one market may not necessarily be accessible elsewhere. Companies operating in this sector are expected to tailor their offerings to comply with local regulations. ADI Predictstreet indicated that users seeking enhanced features may access regulated offerings where available under local laws.
