Polymarket Super Bowl odds
Last updated · re-checked as preseason opened, roughly six months before Super Bowl LXI
Quick answer
Key takeaways
- › 32 separate team contracts; prices sum to roughly $1.
- › Live year-round, not just during the season.
- › USD settlement with an advertised $0 platform fee.
- › New users: $10 deposit unlocks a $50 trading bonus (code FLPREDICTS).
- › Settles shortly after the game under published rules.
Where the board sits in August
Six months out, the entire 32-team board is priced and the sum of all YES contracts sits close to $1.00. That makes August the structurally cheapest point of the year to take a longshot and the most expensive point to hold a favorite, because you're paying for six months of survivorship risk.
- Preseason injuries are the biggest single-day movers until week 1.
- Week 1 through the trade deadline is where mid-tier teams reprice the most.
- Seeding weeks (December) compress the field — by then longshots are gone and edges are thin.
- Capital lockup: a February 2027 settlement means money committed now is tied up for half a year. Price that in.
How Super Bowl markets work
Each team has its own YES/NO contract priced between $0 and $1. The price represents the implied probability that team wins the Super Bowl. Buy YES if you think the price is too low; buy NO if you think it's too high.
Contract math
A contract bought at $0.10 returns $1.00 if it resolves YES; one bought at $0.50 returns $1.00. Compare the market-implied probability to your own view before sizing, and remember a losing contract goes to $0.
