Sportradar Predicts Strong Growth Following IMG Acquisition

Sportradar leadership is confident in the company’s prospects following the acquisition of IMG Arena in November 2025. The Swiss-based multinational’s 2025 accounts paint a dominant picture in the global sports technology and data space.

Full year revenue was up 17% from $1.1 billion to just under $1.3 billion. Revenue from the Betting Technology and Solutions division drove overall performance, up 15% to $1 billion.

CEO Carsten Koerl said: “Sportradar concluded 2025 with another quarter of strong performance, demonstrating significant momentum across our business. For the full year, we delivered on all fronts, achieving record revenue, substantial margin expansion and increased free cash flow generation.”

The acquisition of IMG Arena significantly expanded Sportradar’s portfolio of data rights partners, unlocking more opportunities for data sales to bookmakers and media. The deal hugely enlarged the company’s reach in content.

Sportradar is also eyeing the prediction markets space. Koerl remarked that predictions are “a rapidly developing opportunity in the US” and one which his firm is uniquely positioned to capitalize on.

“We have the ability to power this market end to end with our low latency efficient AI-driven technology,” Koerl said. The company expects strong demand for its marketing services from major exchanges.

Sportradar expects to close 2026 with revenue growth of between 23-25% to $1.56 billion to $1.8 billion alongside significant operating leverage driving EBITDA growth of 24-27% to between $390 million-$400 million.
