FanDuel, the US gaming company, has announced a new partnership with the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) ahead of the start of its second season.

Through the agreement, the firm becomes an official sportsbook partner and exclusive in-app streaming partner of the league in the United States.

FanDuel will stream up to 90 regular season PWHL games and playoffs live on the FanDuel app.

The platform will allow users to both watch and wager on teams and athletes throughout the season, with offerings including player prop bets, novelty markets, and same game parlays.

The partnership will also see FanDuel serve “as an integral part of PWHL games.”

Dale Hooper, general manager of FanDuel Canada, said: “This partnership is about creating a new era of fan engagement - one that brings hockey closer to fans while helping grow the visibility of women's professional sports.”

The PWHL this week also brought on board Intact Financial Corporation as a founding partner.

The second PWHL season begins tomorrow (November 30) with the Toronto Sceptres facing the Boston Fleet and Ottawa Charge taking on Montréal Victoire in a double-header.
