At Sorare, our fantasy gameplay and NFT marketplace are the foundation to building the best fan experience.

Today, 1.8 million sports fans across 185 countries are building their fantasy lineups with NFT cards they own, making the act of buying, selling and trading these cards a strategic piece of the game.
