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.
In discussing its outlook for the 2026 fiscal period, Sportradar projected total revenues of between €1.55 billion and €1.58 billion, which would represented 23% to 25% in growth YoY.
On the results, Sportradar chief executive Carsten Koerl said: “Sportradar concluded 2025 with another quarter of strong performance, demonstrating significant momentum across our business as we continued to drive innovation and customer adoption. For the full year, we delivered on all fronts, achieving record revenue, substantial margin expansion, and increased free cash flow generation.
“These results underscore the durability of our growth strategy and our mission-critical role within the global sports ecosystem. The acquisition of IMG [Arena] further strengthens our competitive position, and we are rapidly integrating and monetizing this premium content across our global customer base.
“Given our financial performance, confidence in our long-term trajectory, and robust balance sheet, we have accelerated share repurchases and significantly increased our total authorization. We remain committed to relentlessly creating value for our partners, clients, and shareholders, and we are excited about the opportunities in both the short and long term."
Sportradar has been active so far in 2026, most recently extending its integrity services partnership with global soccer governing body FIFA for another five years.
The renewal, which runs through 2031, will see Sportradar provide FIFA and its 211 member associations with its AI-driven bet-monitoring services, as well as expanded intelligence and investigation support and dedicated risk assessment services.
