The BetMGM Sportsbook at Nationals Park is closing at the end of the season, a BetMGM spokesperson confirmed to SBJ.
The sportsbook will close after Sunday’s regular-season finale between the Nationals and White Sox at Nats Park, which is the final day customers can cash their tickets.
BetMGM will remain a sponsor of the team, the spokesperson said.
BetMGM Sportsbook was the first connected to an MLB ballpark when it opened in 2022. The sportsbook featured a 4,000-square foot sports bar, six betting windows and 17 kiosks.
MGM Sportsbook is OUT at Nationals Park. Unknown at this point is the status of their sponsorship with the team and the MGM Dugout Club.

Retail sportsbooks adjacent to stadiums in the U.S. have been closing in recent years. More than 95% of all legal sports betting in 2024 was conducted online.
Fanatics Sportsbook at Progressive Field shut down in April, two years after opening. The sportsbook lost just less than $230,000 in 2024, and took less than $20,000 worth of bets in 2025. The space was converted into a team apparel store.
In 2023, BetMGM relocated from Great American Ball Park to a downtown Cincinnati location.
