This event group covers the FA Cup match between Arsenal FC and Wigan Athletic FC scheduled for February 15, 2026. Three prediction markets across Kalshi and Polymarket are tracking the outcome: whether Wigan wins, whether Arsenal wins, and whether the match ends in a draw, all measured within 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time (excluding extra time and penalties).
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
All platforms measure the same event (Arsenal vs Wigan, FA Cup, February 15, 2026) within the same time window (90 minutes plus stoppage time, no extra time or penalties), with consistent outcome definitions across Polymarket and Kalshi markets.
Primary resolution logic:
Official FA Cup records from The FA (thefa.com) and professional match statistics
Core resolution logic:
Match outcome is determined by goals scored within 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time only
Extra time and penalty shootouts are excluded from resolution
Three mutually exclusive outcomes: Arsenal victory, Wigan victory, or draw (0-0 or equal goals)
If match is postponed, all markets remain open until the match is completed and official result is recorded
If match is canceled with no rescheduled make-up game: Polymarket draw market resolves Yes, Polymarket win markets resolve No; Kalshi market structure resolves Yes for any outcome (technical edge case)
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Match Postponement: If the match is postponed, all markets remain open and unresolved until the match is completed. Resolution occurs only after the rescheduled match is played and the official result is recorded.
Match Cancellation Without Make-Up: If the match is canceled entirely with no make-up game scheduled, Polymarket's draw market resolves Yes (per explicit cancellation clause), while Polymarket's Arsenal and Wigan win markets resolve No. Kalshi's market structure (which resolves Yes for any outcome) creates an inconsistency in this scenario.
Extra Time or Penalties: If the match reaches extra time or a penalty shootout, only the result after 90 minutes plus stoppage time is used for resolution. Goals scored in extra time or penalty outcomes are not counted.
Abandoned Match: If the match is abandoned before 90 minutes plus stoppage time is completed, the match is treated as incomplete and markets remain open pending rescheduling or official FA determination.
Timing:
Resolution occurs immediately after the match concludes and the official FA Cup result is published, typically within 1-2 hours of full-time whistle. If the match is postponed, resolution is deferred to the rescheduled date.
