Penn and ESPN end betting partnership as Penn refocuses on Canada
Penn Entertainment and ESPN agreed to end their 10-year betting partnership, effective 1 December 2025, as Penn shifts its interactive focus towards Canada and its Hollywood iCasino products. Penn said payments to ESPN for the agreement will end after Q4 2025; it reported 7% year-on-year revenue growth in Ontario in Q3 2025.
The termination changes Penn’s marketing and brand arrangements, while the company says it will prioritise its Canadian iGaming operations.
