FanDuel teams with Sportradar to bring daily fantasy players the fastest NFL scores and stats
Press Release
August 26, 2015 – FanDuel Inc., the largest one-day fantasy sports operator, today announced a partnership with Sportradar, the leading provider of sports data services globally, to receive the official NFL data feed to power its fantasy football competitions.
In April, the NFL named Sportradar as its exclusive distributor of comprehensive statistics, providing official real-time scores, player statistics and play-by-play data as well as the NFL’s proprietary Next Gen Stats player data, consisting of real-time, location-based data such as routes ran, speed, and distance traveled, for all players, in all games. With an acute focus on technology and development, Sportradar has quickly built an industry reputation for the highest quality data distribution.
“We are building the best technologies, products and features for sports fans and part of that is offering our users the most accurate and most compelling content,” said Nigel Eccles, CEO and co-founder, FanDuel. “Sportradar has built an incredible platform and we are partnering with them to complement our core product by delivering the fastest play-by-play feed to our players.”
“Daily fantasy sports is an intensely competitive space and we could not be more pleased to partner with FanDuel to ensure that their fantasy players experience the most accurate play-by-play data this football season,” said Steve Byrd, Chief Commercial Officer at Sportradar.
The partnership with Sportradar comes a week after FanDuel’s acquisition of numberFire, the leading next generation sports analytics platform that uses the powers of quantitative analysis to be the world's most accurate predictor of sports performance.
