One of the biggest names in sports betting has partnered with Formula 1 as its official betting operator<\/a> in North America. FanDuel, widely recognized as the No. 1 sportsbook in North America, will promote the F1 race weekend<\/a> to its millions of customers across the continent as it begins a more integrated approach to betting on the sport.<\/p>\n

The agreement, the first of its kind in the U.S., comes at a perfect time as F1 returns from a five-week break <\/a>ahead of this Sunday\u2019s Miami Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

As part of the new partnership, the 17 million monthly active users of FanDuel in the U.S. and Canada will be able to bet on a range of markets, including the race winner, whether cars make the podium, and head-to-head match-ups. On the F1 app and website<\/a>, users will also be able to place bets with FanDuel within live race coverage. Further markets will be introduced later in the season.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not an accident that the F1 fanbase in America has grown by 100%<\/a> in five years, with 52 million fans in the U.S. and around the world. Now, another huge industry is enjoying a huge following, after sports betting became legal in 38 states. And as the average sports fan may spend as much time inside a sportsbook app as they do inside a sports streaming app, you can be sure the appetites of Formula 1 betting in the U.S. will grow due to this deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cSport no longer exists in isolation and as more and more fans in the US wager on sports with the sport they love, it\u2019s important that F1 has a strong and appropriate partner in this space,\u201d said F1 Director of Commercial Partnerships Jonny Haworth.<\/p>\n

This weekend\u2019s 2026 Miami Grand Prix brings F1 to North America for the first time<\/a> this season, with the dominant story being 19-year-old championship leader Kimi Antonelli. One of the schedule\u2019s swankiest races<\/a>, the Miami Grand Prix, will now have another way to engage with the FanDuel announcement.<\/p>\n
