At a glance
College markets that exist today fall into two buckets: college football and basketball boards on Polymarket and Kalshi, and a small set of Kalshi campus markets on US News rankings, UC tuition, student debt and the Yale DOJ case. No exchange lists per-school acceptance rates.
Live sports boards live on our odds pages. Below are the non-sports college markets currently listed, then our watchlist of questions no venue has created yet. For a wider lens beyond higher ed, our venue comparison hub ranks every legal US prediction market side-by-side.
