Polymarket Launches Squads, Bringing the Group Chat to Prediction Markets

New experience lets friends talk markets, share their picks and trade together on Polymarket US

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Polymarket, the world's largest prediction market, today announced the launch of Squads, a new social experience within the US Polymarket app that gives friends a dedicated place to talk markets, share their picks and trade together directly on Polymarket.

Squads brings the conversations already happening in group chats onto Polymarket, putting the conversation and the action in one place and making it easier for friends to experience the platform together.

"People are constantly debating what's going to happen next with their friends and sharing predictions in group chats," said Travis VanderZanden, Chief Growth Officer at Polymarket. "With Squads, we're bringing the conversation and trading together so friends can follow the events they care about and make their predictions in one place. No better time to start than right before football season kicks off."

With Squads, users can:

• Create private groups and invite friends to join
• Chat about games, markets and predictions within the app
• Share positions and combos with their Squad
• See what other Squad members are trading
• Trade alongside friends directly from shared positions and combos

Each Squad serves as a private space inside the Polymarket app, where members can invite friends, exchange messages, share positions and combos and follow activity across the group. Every member trades through their own Polymarket account while participating in a shared experience built around the markets they care about most.

Coinciding with the launch of Squads, Polymarket will debut Polymarket HQ, its inaugural football-season campaign, directed by Peter Berg. Polymarket HQ enlists a roster of sports legends and cultural icons, including LeBron James, Eli Manning, Derek Jeter, Spike Lee, Sue Bird, Richard Sherman, Rajon Rondo and others. Set inside a fictional Polymarket headquarters where each floor represents a different market, the campaign spans a series of spots showcasing Squads, live trading, Combos and other Polymarket product features.

Squads marks the latest expansion of Polymarket's platform as the company continues to introduce new ways for people to trade on and engage with the events they care about most. It follows the recent launch of Polymarket Perps, giving users a new way to trade the price movements of assets across crypto, stocks, commodities, and indices.
