NHL grants Kalshi and Polymarket trademark licenses in first such deal by major US sports league

The National Hockey League has signed multiyear licensing agreements with prediction market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket, granting both the rights to use NHL trademarks, logos, and team names. The deals mark the first time a major US professional sports league has extended the same intellectual property terms to prediction markets that it provides to traditional sportsbooks like DraftKings and FanDuel.
