Fox Corporation has announced a major integration with federally regulated prediction market Kalshi, bringing real-time event probability data across its entire news and streaming portfolio. The deal, announced on March 17, 2026, will see Kalshi's data feeds incorporated into FOX News Channel, FOX Business Network, FOX Weather, and the FOX One streaming platform.
The integration will embed Kalshi's "event contracts"—futures-style instruments tied to outcomes in politics, economics, weather, and culture—directly into FOX's linear TV broadcasts and digital content. This includes bespoke visualizations and on-screen tickers, providing audiences with market-based forecasts as a complement to traditional reporting and polling. Kalshi will work directly with FOX's data and production teams to enable seamless, real-time data visualization.
Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour framed the partnership as an antidote to misinformation, stating, "as misinformation grows more common, Kalshi offers accurate, unbiased data to help people better understand what's going on in the world." Paul Cheesbrough, CEO of Tubi Media Group, called prediction markets "an essential data point and a compelling new experience across our live content portfolio."
This move follows similar media integrations by Kalshi with CNN and CNBC, signaling a push by prediction markets into mainstream financial media. The CNN partnership reportedly helped Kalshi secure a $1 billion funding round at an $11 billion valuation. The platform, licensed by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a Designated Contract Market, sees millions of visitors monthly, with roughly 70% coming primarily to view forecasts rather than trade.
The announcement comes amid significant regulatory and operational momentum for Kalshi. A federal appeals court recently ruled that New Jersey cannot regulate Kalshi's sports event contracts, affirming that the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC oversight preempt state gambling laws. The company has also bolstered its policy team by hiring former Obama senior adviser Stephanie Cutter. Furthermore, fintech giant FIS has launched real-time post-trade clearing technology for prediction markets, indicating maturation of the underlying infrastructure.
The broader prediction market sector is experiencing rapid growth, with platforms like Polymarket processing about $12 billion in volume in January 2026 alone. Regulators, including CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, are actively working to establish a clear derivatives-style rulebook for the sector.
