About us
To build the game within the game and give fans, players, and clubs the platform to celebrate, share, and own the game.
Sorare builds fantasy sports games where you collect, trade, and compete with officially licensed digital player cards. Users build teams from their card collections and enter weekly competitions where scores depend on real-world athlete performance. With over 5 million users across 180 countries, Sorare has partnerships with more than 300 sports organizations including the Premier League, NBA, MLB, La Liga, and Bundesliga. The platform spans football, basketball, and baseball, creating what the company calls "the game within the game" — transforming fans from spectators into active team owners who truly own their digital assets.
Products
The core product is a fantasy sports platform where users collect officially licensed digital player cards that function as NFTs with verifiable scarcity. Players build lineups from their collections and compete in weekly tournaments where card performance mirrors real-world athlete statistics. Sorare covers over 247 football clubs across 42+ leagues, plus all MLB and NBA players. The platform includes a marketplace for trading cards and recently launched the "Global Cup" featuring cash prizes. Originally built on Ethereum with StarkEx scaling, Sorare migrated to Solana in October 2025 for better performance and scalability.
Funding
Sorare has raised approximately $737 million across multiple rounds, highlighted by a massive $680 million Series B in September 2021 that valued the company at $4.3 billion. SoftBank Vision Fund led the Series B, with other investors including Benchmark, Accel, and D1 Capital Partners. High-profile athletes like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Serena Williams, and Zinedine Zidane have also invested. Revenue peaked at $200 million in 2021 but dropped to $46.5 million in 2024, leading the company to restructure and renegotiate over €500 million in licensing commitments while targeting profitability by 2026.
Recent news
In May 2026, Sorare announced the 'Sorare Pro Global Cup' to coincide with the summer 2026 international football tournament, introducing a new 'Colors Set' of collectible cards and a total cash prize pool of over $150,000. Concurrently, the platform rolled out its 'Sorare 26' gameplay updates, which expanded 'Hot Streaks' and revamped the In-Season competition structures across major global leagues.
Technology
Sorare runs on a Ruby on Rails backend with a React and TypeScript frontend. The platform uses GraphQL for API communication and PostgreSQL for database management, with ActionCable handling real-time features. Infrastructure runs on AWS with Kubernetes and Docker for deployment. After migrating from Ethereum to Solana in 2025, smart contracts are written in Solidity. The team deploys daily to production and uses specialized tools for player data management, spreadsheets for operations, and ticketing systems for partner allocations.
Benefits
Sorare operates a hybrid model requiring three days in office per week. Benefits include stock options, comprehensive health/dental/vision insurance (fully subsidized in many regions), and generous PTO with five weeks for permanent staff. Wellness perks include 60 euro gym membership reimbursement and in-office sports classes. The company covers 100% of Navigo pass costs in Paris, provides lunch vouchers, and offers one day off per month worked for interns. Equipment includes laptop and monitor, plus relocation assistance for new hires. The culture emphasizes English as the workplace language across their international team.
