In a groundbreaking collaboration, Sports Illustrated and UK-based media firm Galactic have unveiled SI Predict, a pioneering platform designed to revolutionize the way fans interact with sports events. Set to launch in the second quarter of 2025, SI Predict offers a dynamic and intuitive experience that transcends traditional sports betting by focusing on lifestyle moments adjacent to live sports events.​

A New Dimension in Fan Participation​

SI Predict empowers both avid sports enthusiasts and casual viewers to engage in real-time predictions on various aspects surrounding major global sporting events. From forecasting halftime show elements to predicting audience reactions, users can trade on outcomes of trends and themes, fostering a deeper connection with the sporting world.​

Dan Dienst, Executive Vice Chairman of Authentic Brands Group and Chairman of Sports Illustrated, emphasized the platform’s mission:​

“With SI Predict, we’re excited to watch Galactic roll out its platform to fans and enthusiasts and enable them to express their insights beyond the sofa or neighborhood tavern and engage passionately with a more global audience on the content adjacent to the sport moments they love.”​

Seamless and Secure User Experience​

Built within a secure, regulatory-compliant framework, SI Predict ensures a trustworthy environment for users to participate in predictions. The platform leverages blockchain technology to guarantee fairness and accuracy, all while maintaining a user-friendly interface that requires no prior knowledge of crypto or blockchain.​

Stuart Stott, CEO of Galactic, highlighted the platform’s innovative approach:​

“Sports viewership is no longer a one-way conversation. Fans want to be involved, and they want their opinions to have weight. SI Predict revolutionizes sports engagement, transforming it from passive viewership to an active, influential forum.”​
