Recent CFTC guidance from March 2026 and a June proposed rulemaking have clarified the path for sports event contracts on designated contract markets, generally permitting those settled on objective league data like final scores or tournament advancement while encouraging pre-self-certification engagement with sports leagues. Kalshi has led with multiple self-certifications of sports contracts since early 2025, including team title and championship markets, without regulatory stays. New DCM approvals for sports-focused platforms such as Novig and ProphetX in June 2026 signal expanding competitive pressure to list quickly via the 40.2 self-certification process. Traders are watching whether additional DCMs file before year-end amid the clearer framework, though CFTC retains authority to review or stay listings.
