Fubo’s agreement with NASCAR brings excitement to the Arizona betting scene.
The partnership between Fubo Gaming and NASCAR in Arizona could revolutionize the world of sports betting.
In August, the Arizona Department of Gaming granted licenses to 18 operators, including Fubo Gaming. On Thursday, Fubo Gaming announced a partnership with the racing circuit in a press release.
The partnership paves the way for Fubo Sportsbook to become an authorized gaming operator for NASCAR, bolstering the company’s standing as it gears up to launch in the fiercely competitive Arizona sports betting industry in the near future.

Fubo has become the fifth gaming/fantasy sports partner of NASCAR, joining licensed operators like BetMGM Arizona and WynnBet Arizona in the Arizona market.
DraftKings Arizona provides the official daily fantasy sports game for NASCAR, in partnership with Penn National Gaming as the authorized gaming operator.
NASCAR and Penn Interactive have joined forces in a long-term market access agreement in Arizona, appointing Penn National Interactive/Barstool Sports as the official sportsbook of Phoenix Raceway.
In 2020, Penn National and NASCAR established their inaugural partnership, with Penn National becoming NASCAR’s first authorized gaming partner and NASCAR becoming Penn National’s first professional sports alliance. Barstool Sportsbook introduced mobile betting coinciding with the launch of Arizona sports betting in September and has intentions to open a permanent sportsbook at Phoenix International Raceway.
What is the launch date for Fubo in Arizona?
Fubo Gaming has teamed up with the Ak-Chin Indian Community in Arizona to offer a cutting-edge mobile sportsbook. The company aims to integrate its mobile betting site with its FuboTV live TV streaming platform for a seamless experience.
A Fubo Gaming spokesperson declined to comment on the impact of the company’s NASCAR deal on its Arizona launch date during a press briefing on Thursday. The spokesperson confirmed that Fubo Gaming remains on track to launch in Arizona, as well as in Iowa, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and New Jersey, as planned in the fourth quarter.
According to Chief Operating Officer Sam Rattner, the partnership between Fubo Gaming and NASCAR will be advantageous for all parties.
Rattner conveyed enthusiasm for the collaboration with NASCAR, a league renowned for its storied past and loyal fanbase. As an Authorized Gaming Operator, we are thrilled to develop engaging sports betting opportunities for both current and prospective racing fans. The increased marketing initiatives of Fubo Sportsbook are aiding us in achieving our objective of engaging with sports enthusiasts across the country.
Moreover, Fubo Gaming has established collaborations with the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers and the NFL’s New York Jets.
What benefits do NASCAR and Fubo gain from their partnership?
The Fubo-NASCAR agreement allows the operator to incorporate NASCAR’s tracks, series, and events into their app, while also receiving promotion of their company assets on the racing circuit’s digital and social platforms and events.
NASCAR’s Managing Director of Sports Betting, Joseph Solosky, shared his excitement in the announcement about the partnership with Fubo Gaming to grow their footprint in the rapidly growing sports betting market.
Solosky explained that NASCAR’s goal is to boost fan involvement in the sport by launching mobile sports betting, offering fans more ways to interact with their beloved drivers and racing teams.
Solosky conveyed his enthusiasm in the press release for the opportunity to expand NASCAR’s reach through the unique sports betting experience provided by Fubo Sportsbook. He highlighted how Fubo Sportsbook’s creative approach to sports betting will elevate the experience for both casual spectators and dedicated race enthusiasts, providing them with new and thrilling ways to interact with the sport.
