Sportradar Boosts Brazilian Basketball with LNB Partnership

Sportradar has finalized a landmark multi-year partnership with Liga Nacional de Basquete (LNB), Brazil’s premier basketball league, marking a pivotal moment for the sport’s international growth. The agreement grants Sportradar exclusive worldwide rights for audiovisual betting, gaming, and data distribution across all LNB competitions, including the NBB Caixa, Copa Super 8, Liga Ouro, and developmental leagues.

Central to the collaboration is the integration of Sportradar‘s cutting-edge Synergy solutions. The league will adopt Synergy Stats for advanced data collection and analytics, alongside Synergy Coaching, an AI-powered video tool designed to enhance team scouting, game breakdowns, and player performance analysis. These innovations aim to sharpen Brazil’s competitive edge by equipping teams with data-driven insights.

Integrity remains a cornerstone of the partnership, with Sportradar deploying its Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS AI) to safeguard the 620+ matches held annually against corruption and match-fixing risks. To further strengthen protections, Sportradar will conduct educational seminars for athletes, referees, and officials, fostering a culture of fairness.

Sergio Floris, Managing Director Brazil at Sportradar, emphasized the strategic significance: “We are delighted to partner with the LNB and support the next phase of growth for basketball in Brazil. Sportradar already has a strong presence in the country through football and volleyball, and we’ve long anticipated welcoming Brazil’s premier basketball league into our portfolio. Together, we aim to elevate the league through innovation, data, and integrity.”

Rodrigo Montoro, President of the LNB, echoed the optimism: “This partnership is transformative. Sportradar’s global leadership in innovation, data, and integrity will accelerate Brazilian basketball’s development, positioning us competitively both domestically and internationally over the next four years.”

This deal cements Sportradar‘s dominance in Brazil’s sports betting landscape, following prior agreements with the Brazilian Football and Volleyball Confederations. By integrating basketball, the company now covers all three major pillars of Brazilian sports, reinforcing its role as a catalyst for growth and integrity in the region.
