The Kansas City Royals have officially named a new sports betting partner on Monday, after parting ways with Underdog in late November of 2025.

The Royals agreed to partner with Circa Sports. This comes after Underdog withdrew their sports application in Missouri right before the Dec. 1, 2025 launch date.

“Since launching Circa Sports in Missouri last December, we’ve grown to appreciate the local sports community and the Kansas City Royals are at the heart of it,” said Derek Stevens, CEO of Circa Sports.

“This partnership is about creating premium experiences around the game – from the ballpark to the sportsbook – and giving Royals fans access, energy and a level of engagement that feels authentic to how they follow baseball.”
