ESPN has updated its on-air talent guidelines to address prediction markets, aiming to prevent insider betting among its broadcasters and analysts. The new policy expands existing rules on gambling to include participation in prediction markets, where individuals can wager on the outcomes of future events. The move reflects growing scrutiny of sports media personalities' involvement in betting activities. The guidelines were announced on November 7, 2026.
