Polymarket Launches 2026 Midterms Hub

New hub expands how users follow the 2026 elections across the platform's live markets, with an interactive map, key races, balance of power and Election Day results

NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Polymarket today announced the launch of its 2026 Midterms Hub, a dedicated destination for following the U.S. midterm elections across the platform's live markets, with new tools to track individual races, market movement, control of Congress, and real-time Election Day results.

The Hub maps live market odds across states and districts, identifies the races at the center of the cycle, and tracks how markets are pricing control of the House, Senate, and governorships. As polling, fundraising, endorsements, debates and campaign developments introduce new information, prices move through trading activity. On Election Day, live vote status and results will sit alongside market odds as returns come in.

"The outlook on elections changes by the day, and sometimes by the hour. A new poll comes out, a candidate has a big debate, something happens on the campaign trail, and expectations change," said Rob Eskridge, Head of U.S. Government Affairs at Polymarket. "Prediction markets capture all that in real time. The Midterms Hub gives people a simple way to see where the country thinks these races are headed and how that changes between now and Election Day."

The Polymarket Midterms Hub will include:

• Election Markets: Live trading markets for Senate, House, Governor, and Local & Mayoral races across the 2026 Midterms, which incorporate real-time information and developments to provide a market-based, real-money consensus on forecasted outcomes.
• Polymarket Map Interactive View: A live, interactive electoral map of the country, colored by real-time market odds. Users can zoom from the national picture down to individual states and districts, click into any race to see current prices and probability shifts, and watch the map update as money moves, providing an at-a-glance view of where races stand across the country.
• Balance of Power Markets: Dedicated markets on the biggest questions of the cycle — which party will win the House and Senate, which party will hold the most governor seats, and the overall Balance of Power. These markets distill race-level signals into a live view of how the market is pricing the balance of power after November.
• Live Election Day Vote Status & Results: Real-time vote counts streamed alongside market odds on election night, so users can watch how markets react to incoming returns precinct by precinct and see how market expectations change as results come in.
• Key Races: A dedicated view of the most competitive and important races across the country, highlighting the contests shaping the 2026 midterms.

The Midterms Hub marks the latest expansion of Polymarket's platform as the company continues to expand the ways users can follow and interpret the information generated by its markets. Polymarket currently lists more than 560 markets across its 2026 midterms coverage, spanning Senate, House, gubernatorial, referendum and balance-of-power outcomes.
