Fanatics Markets, the prediction market subsidiary of global sports platform Fanatics, has launched a new Combos product just in time for the start of the NBA playoffs. Combos will allow users to combine multiple outcomes, such as player props, game winners, spreads, and totals, into a single contract. This new feature is the first of several platform upgrades planned by Fanatics as it looks to capitalize on the high betting activity around the NBA postseason.

Why it matters

The introduction of Combos represents Fanatics' effort to enhance the user experience and provide more flexibility on its prediction market platform. As a relatively new player in the space, Fanatics is looking to differentiate itself from competitors like Kalshi and Polymarket by offering innovative features that cater to the interests of sports bettors, a key target demographic for prediction markets.

The details

Combos will be available across a variety of professional sports, including basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, football, boxing, MMA, and tennis. For the NBA playoffs, users will be able to combine up to four different outcomes, such as a team's spread, the game winner, and the total score, into a single contract. All three predictions must be correct in order to win the Combo. Fanatics says this feature was the most requested by its customers and is part of a broader effort to enhance the trading experience on its platform.

  • The NBA playoffs are scheduled to begin on April 18, 2026.
  • Fanatics Markets launched its prediction market platform in December 2025.
