Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has been instructed by the NFL to divest his equity stake in the prediction market platform Polymarket, according to an Associated Press report on October 28, 2026.
The league's directive comes amid ongoing scrutiny of player involvement in gambling-related ventures. Barkley, who joined the Eagles in 2024, had acquired an ownership interest in Polymarket, a platform that allows users to bet on the outcome of events using cryptocurrency.
Neither the NFL nor Barkley's representatives have released further details on the timeline for the divestment or potential penalties for non-compliance.
