Brazil’s top professional basketball league, the Liga Nacional de Basquete (LNB), has entered a comprehensive multi‑year partnership with Sportradar Group AG to accelerate international growth and drive innovation across the league.
Sportradar secures worldwide rights across audiovisual betting and gaming, as well as betting data collection and distribution for one of the most popular professional sports in Brazil. The agreement covers all competitions within the LNB ecosystems including the NBB Caixa, the country’s premier men’s professional basketball league, the Copa Super 8, Development League, Liga Ouro, Interligas and the Interligas Development League.
As part of the agreement, LNB will leverage Sportradar’s Synergy portfolio, including Synergy Stats for advanced data collection and analytics, and Synergy Coaching, a premier AI-driven video analysis and scouting platform that enables teams to break down game footage, scout opponents, and evaluate talent.
In addition, LNB will integrate Sportradar’s industry-leading Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS AI), alongside educational workshops for athletes, administrators and referees, to safeguard more than 620 matches per season from corruption and match-fixing.
Sergio Floris, Managing Director for Brazil at Sportradar, said: “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 partnerships in football and volleyball, and we have long looked forward to 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, emphasized that Sportradar is a global benchmark in innovation, data, and integrity, noting that the agreement will significantly enhance the development of Brazilian basketball starting next season. He added that the partnership strengthens the LNB’s position in both national and international markets and will deliver substantial benefits to the sport over the next four years.
With a long-standing integrity partnership with the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) and a comprehensive agreement with the CBV (Brazilian Volleyball Confederation), the addition of the NBB completes Sportradar’s presence across Brazil’s three most popular sports, representing a natural culmination of efforts to support the development and protection of competitions that are central to fans’ passion.
