The Polish Basketball League (PLK) and the Polish Basketball Association (PZK) are the newest sports organizations to grant the Genius Sports Group (GSG) exclusive rights to distribute live video and data from their local championships.
The partnership is set for the next 10 years from the 2021-22 season, according to the operator’s official announcement.
Under the agreement, Genius Sports will distribute live basketball data and video to its global network of sports betting partners, providing real-time information.
