Genius Sports Partners with Canadian Football League
Genius Sports Limited, the official data, technology, and commercial partner that powers the ecosystem connecting sports, betting and media, has announced a landmark strategic partnership with the Canadian Football League (CFL), the second-largest football league globally with over 100 years of history.
Genius Sports will provide a wide range of technology and services that will enable the CFL to accelerate its growth plans and engage new audiences around the world.
As part of the agreement, Genius Sports will have the exclusive rights to commercialize the CFL’s official data worldwide and video content with sportsbooks in international markets, replicating the global distribution and success of its official betting products for the EPL and NFL, among others. In connection with the partnership, in addition to the official data rights agreement, Genius Sports and the CFL have also agreed that Genius Sports will acquire a minority stake in CFL Ventures, the new commercial arm of the League, allowing the Company to benefit strategically and financially from the CFL’s growth.
The CFL will be provided with one of the widest and most innovative data ecosystems in world sport, transforming its relationships with fans, sportsbooks, and media in North America and globally. Bringing together its recent acquisitions of Second Spectrum, Spirable, FanHub, and Sportzcast, Genius Sports will power the entire CFL digital infrastructure. This will include live broadcast augmentation, advanced data tracking tools, highly targeted and personalized fan engagement solutions, cross-platform streaming capabilities, play-by-play and scoreboard data collection technology, coaching analytics products, and integrity services to safeguard the league.
“Our partnership with Genius Sports has the potential to launch a new era for the CFL. It provides access to the technology and tools we need to engage our existing fans, and reach new ones, in exciting, innovative and highly customized ways. This goes beyond transforming our marketing. It can redefine our relationship with fans, partners and other key stakeholders, here in Canada and globally,” Randy Ambrosie, Commissioner of the Canadian Football League, said.
“By providing the CFL with an incredible range of sports technology solutions, Genius Sports is setting a new precedent for sports partnerships. Together, we will revolutionize the entire CFL product, delivering truly immersive experiences for their existing fans and attracting new audiences who crave year-round, top-flight football action,” Mark Locke, CEO of Genius Sports, said.
This partnership will help facilitate the CFL’s growth ambitions, expanding its audience in the US, while extending its reach into new international markets. Genius Sports will help the CFL to capitalize on the growth of the North American sports betting market, maximizing revenue and engagement opportunities.
The transaction is expected to become effective in January 2022.

At the event, the company will highlight how its product suite addresses evolving technical and partnership demands in Canada’s regulated iGaming market.

Digicode’s Diger Suite is built to support this shift, offering a modular architecture that enables faster adaptation to regulatory changes, improved system reliability, and more efficient operations.
Aligned with the summit’s 2026 theme, “Partnerships, Performance, and Market Reality,” Digicode will demonstrate how its technology supports sustainable growth.

During the summit, Digicode’s team will engage with industry stakeholders on topics including AI adoption in product development, modernization of legacy systems, and the transition away from traditional SaaS and revenue-share models toward full platform ownership.
The company aims to help operators regain control of their technology stack, reduce dependency on third-party vendors, and build scalable, compliant solutions tailored to their business needs.

Internet Vikings Expands Canadian Footprint into Alberta
Internet Vikings, a licensed hosting provider for the North American iGaming and online sports betting industry, has announced that its hosting solutions are ready to launch in Alberta, Canada. Internet Vikings’ infrastructure and operational processes already align with the province’s expected requirements, meaning the company can help operators enter the Alberta market faster and with greater confidence.
The expansion comes following the release of updated hosting, infrastructure, and security requirements by the AGLC. As Alberta prepares to open its market, operators and suppliers are facing strict requirements around cybersecurity and disaster recovery.
Internet Vikings’ experience supporting regulated operators across North America positions the company to help businesses comply with these operational and regulatory requirements efficiently from day one.
Requirements include adherence to internationally recognized security standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001. In addition, operators are expected to maintain disaster recovery environments, encrypted immutable backups, and perform routine recovery testing to ensure business continuity.
“We are ready to provide the infrastructure and local expertise operators need to launch and scale successfully. We are already working with operators preparing for launch and understand the urgency involved in getting compliant infrastructure deployed quickly,” said Rickard Vikström, CEO and Founder of Internet Vikings.
Internet Vikings first established operations in Ontario in 2022 and is now expanding its Canadian footprint into Alberta with hosting solutions, including VMware cloud hosting, bare metal servers, bare metal GPU servers, disaster recovery, and backup solutions.
