“Partnering with FanDuel provides Diamond with an exciting path to enhance the fan experience and deepen the value we bring to our team, the league and our distribution partners,” said Diamond CEO David Preschlack. “This partnership strengthens the opportunities to further strengthen the close bond between our partners. RSNs engage with local fans, including enhancing our DTC offering for a growing digital audience. In the meantime, after we finalize agreements with the NBA, NHL and our key distributors, we remain focused on advancing our business and driving value for our team partners and our stakeholders.”

“Partnering with Diamond gives us the opportunity to place the FanDuel brand at the intersection of the nation’s largest group of regional sports networks,” said Mike Raffensperger, FanDuel sports chairman. “A large cohort of FanDuel customers are dedicated RSN viewers and this agreement allows us to further strengthen the FanDuel brand among sports fans and provides a unique vehicle to reward our users.”
