Sportradar has lowered its full-year 2026 guidance for revenue and adjusted EBITDA. The change follows a second quarter with mixed results.

The company now expects adjusted EBITDA between €360 million and €368 million. That is down from a prior range of €390 million to €400 million.

Revenue guidance was also cut. Sportradar now expects €1.52 billion to €1.53 billion, down from €1.56 billion to €1.58 billion.
