Bet on this market on PolymarketThe table above shows the live NBA championship odds from Polymarket’s 2027 champion market, with more than $30 million traded and millions more resting on the order book. Each price is what traders are paying for a share that pays $1 if that team wins the 2026-27 title.
How to Read the Odds
A price is a probability: 20¢ is a 20% chance, American odds of +400, decimal 5.00 or fractional 4/1. The table converts every team.
The Buy now column is the decimal odds you’d get buying this second, at the best offer and after any taker fee. On the contenders it’s almost the same as the market price. On the long shots the books are thinner, so use a limit order.
Polymarket vs Sportsbook Futures
Sportsbooks charge more on futures than on single games. In my experience an NBA title market carries a margin of about 10% to 20%, compared with roughly 5% on a standard -110/-110 game line. Paste any book’s futures prices into the no-vig calculator to see its margin.
On Polymarket the prices add up to roughly 100%, because they come from traders, not from a book protecting itself. You pay a small taker fee when you buy at the offer, and none when your limit order fills.
The bigger difference over an 82-game season is that you can sell any time. If your team gets hot in January, sell some shares and lock in the profit, or sell all of them if your star gets hurt. A sportsbook’s cash-out offer is usually well below the bet’s fair value.
Liquidity
NBA markets are among the most liquid on Polymarket. The title market has millions of dollars of orders, so you can get on at size without moving the price, and no trader review is going to cut your limits for winning. The same goes for games: I’ve seen tens of thousands of dollars available at the best price on a regular-season NBA game, before and during play.
How the Market Settles
Each team has its own Yes/No market. It settles Yes for the 2026-27 NBA champion and No for every other team, using official NBA information. A team’s shares settle at $0 as soon as it’s eliminated. If the season is cancelled or no champion is declared by 30 June 2027, the market settles to “Other”.
