Global sports integrity showed further signs of stabilising in 2025, with fewer suspicious matches detected across monitored events. Oversight efforts continued to expand across regions and sports. The latest match-fixing 2025 data highlights how technology and enforcement remain central to integrity work.

• Sportradar monitored more than 1 million sporting events across 70 sports worldwide during 2025 and identified 1,116 suspicious matches, representing a 1% decline compared to 2024. More than 99.5% of all monitored events were flagged as free from suspicion.

• Europe recorded the highest number of suspicious matches again, but reported 66 fewer cases year-on-year. South America also saw a reduction, with 64 fewer matches flagged. Asia, Africa, and North and Central America experienced modest increases during the year.

• Football remained the most affected sport with 618 suspicious matches detected in 2025. Basketball followed with 233 cases, while tennis, table tennis and cricket each recorded higher figures than the previous year. This spread shows match-fixing 2025 activity appearing across multiple sports.

• The use of Sportradar’s AI-powered Universal Fraud Detection System continued to grow. The system analyses betting data in real time to identify irregular patterns. Matches flagged through AI analysis increased by 56% compared to 2024.

• Enforcement and education remained key pillars of integrity efforts during the year. Sportradar supported 125 sporting sanctions across seven sports and six continents, bringing its total to more than 1,000. Education programmes reached over 34,000 participants, a 25% increase year-on-year, with Andreas Krannich, Executive Vice President Integrity and Regulatory Services at Sportradar,  noting that “continued vigilance” remains essential.
