Galactic, a leading media predictions module and Sports Illustrated, the preeminent brand that celebrates sport and culture, have partnered to launch SI Predict, a new prediction platform that deepens fan engagement by allowing them to interact directly with lifestyle moments adjacent to live sports events.

SI Predict will offer both die-hard fans and casual spectators a dynamic and interactive experience where users can engage with real-time predictions, trade on the outcomes of trends and themes around major global sporting events, and gain deeper insights into public sentiment in a seamless, user-optimized experience. This endeavor marks a significant evolution in sports, transforming fandom into active participation.

“Sports Illustrated has always been about engaging fans in the stories that shape the world of sports,” said Dan Dienst, Executive Vice Chairman, Authentic Brands Group, and Chairman, Sports Illustrated.

“With SI Predict, we’re excited to watch Galactic roll out its platform to fans and enthusiasts and enable them to express their insights beyond the sofa or neighborhood tavern and engage passionately with a more global audience on the content adjacent to the sport moments they love.”

Targeted to officially launch in Q2 2025, SI Predict will create a frictionless, intuitive, and easy-to-navigate experience for its users. Galactic, through SI Predict, will focus on fostering conversation, debate, and engagement on a wide range of socially relevant and fun propositions, allowing users to showcase their expertise without the complexities of gambling nor a focus on outcomes or traditional game-specific propositions found at sportsbooks.

Stuart Stott, CEO of Galactic, said: “Sports viewership is no longer a one-way conversation. Fans want to be involved, and they want their opinions to have weight. SI Predict revolutionizes sports engagement, transforming it from passive viewership to an active, influential forum.”
