The National Basketball Association (NBA) and PrizePicks, a leading sports entertainment operator in North America, announced a multi-year partnership, making PrizePicks an official Daily Fantasy Sports Partner of the NBA. The partnership will expand fan engagement through innovative experiences and content.

Through the league partnership, PrizePicks will integrate NBA intellectual property across its daily fantasy and free-to-play products and marketing initiatives. This includes the use of NBA League, collective NBA Team, and NBA Event marks across approved digital platforms, including the PrizePicks app and website. The partnership was facilitated by KLUTCH Sports Group’s Brand Consulting and Sports and Brand Insights divisions.

“This partnership with the NBA marks an important milestone for PrizePicks as we continue to grow alongside one of the most iconic leagues in sports. Basketball has always been at the heart of our brand, and this collaboration reflects our deep roots in the game. Our focus has always been on delivering fun and responsible experiences, and working with the NBA allows us to bring that commitment to fans through innovative integrations that enhance how they engage with the game,” said Mike Ybarra, CEO of PrizePicks.

“PrizePicks has established itself as a leader in daily fantasy sports through innovation and a strong focus on the fan. We’re excited to collaborate with PrizePicks to enhance the NBA fan experience by combining the league’s unmatched moments with PrizePicks’ interactive innovation, creating new and engaging ways for fans to connect with the game,” said Eric Rimsky, Head of Domestic Fantasy at NBA.

The agreement also enables PrizePicks to execute promotional campaigns and participate in co-marketing efforts across NBA digital and media platforms. Additionally, the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) will grant PrizePicks the ability to use images of multiple NBA players across its marketing, content, and promotional initiatives.

As PrizePicks continues to expand its national footprint, the company remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of compliance, integrity, and Responsible Gaming. In 2025, PrizePicks earned iCAP accreditation from the National Council on Problem Gambling, becoming the first and only fantasy sports operator to receive this certification.
