Sportradar, the sports data and technology firm, has published its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025, highlighted by record full-year revenue of €1.29 billion ($1.5 billion).
That revenue figure, up 17% on the business’s 2024 results, was driven primarily by the growth in betting and gaming content services, which grew 16% year-on-year (YoY) up to €817.3 million.

Sportradar has been attributed this to the increased uptake in its products, and the boon associated with the acquisition of the IMG Arena gaming services business.
That acquisition, completed in November, saw Sportradar take control of a wide-ranging client base spanning over 70 rightsholders from 14 sports, encompassing 38,000 events of data rights coverage, and 29,000 events of streaming rights coverage.
While all of Sportradar’s business units grew across the period, including managed betting services (+15%), marketing and media services (+24%), sports performance (+8%), and integrity services (+44%).
Fourth quarter revenue stood at €368 million, up 20% on the equivalent quarter of 2024, with the IMG Arena purchase proving fruitful in this.
