FanDuel, North America’s premier online gaming company, announced a new partnership with the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) becoming an Official Sportsbook Partner and exclusive In-app Streaming Partner in the US.

This collaboration offers hockey fans unmatched access to the PWHL, with FanDuel streaming up to 90 regular season PWHL games and playoffs live on the FanDuel app. Fans can both watch and wager on their favorite teams and athletes throughout the season, with offerings including player prop bets, novelty markets and Same Game Parlays, all in one place. The partnership goes beyond the app, and starting at the beginning of the season, fans will see FanDuel as an integral part of PWHL games.

“FanDuel is proud to partner with the PWHL and support the league’s incredible athletes. This partnership is about creating a new era of fan engagement—one that brings hockey closer to fans while helping grow the visibility of women’s professional sports,” said Dale Hooper, General Manager of FanDuel Canada.

With this collaboration, FanDuel reinforces its leadership as the best sportsbook for fans to engage with their favorite teams and athletes, bringing them closer to the action and women’s hockey than ever before.
