Who this guide is for
US adults who can already open a Polymarket ticket and now need to save or watch that market so they can come back without hunting — where watch / favorite / saved lives if official help names it, how to add and remove a market, and why watching is not a position. This is not how to find an NFL market, not how to read your Polymarket portfolio, not how to read price history, not how to read volume, and not how to check when a market ends. Those pages are the hunt, the filled-row screen, the chart, the volume stamp, and the clock. This page is only the pin. Then we link out. Polymarket is the only live outbound on this page.
Where watch / favorite / saved lives
Hard rule: if official US help names the control, we name it. If it does not, we describe the action — star, follow, or save. Official Place a Trade is tap to open the ticket. Official Monitor Your Positions is Portfolio, not a bookmark list. Official Website vs App splits the international site from the US desk.
Official US help does not reprint a Watchlist tab
No named retail header
Official Browse Markets, Official Place a Trade, Official Monitor Your Positions, and Official Glossary do not reprint a retail tab, tile, or definition labelled Watchlist, Favorites, Watch, or Saved on the swipe we checked. Official Website vs App: US residents browse and trade in the Polymarket US app, not on polymarket.com. We will not invent a home-screen Watchlist chip those pages do not print. If the sports desk is hidden where you live, stop.
The action is on the opened market — star, follow, or save
Describe the action
Official Place a Trade: tap any market to open it. That opened ticket is where you look for a control that pins the market so you can reopen it later. Official US pages we checked do not name that control. If the live US app shows a star, a follow, a bookmark, or a save, use that live label. If the control is missing or named differently, stay on the ticket and do not hunt a header we invent.
The list — if the live app shows one — is not Portfolio
Confirm the live screen
Official Place a Trade: open the Portfolio tab to track a position and market value. Official Monitor Your Positions: that screen is cash, open positions, and total value. A saved market is not one of those rows. If the live app keeps starred / followed / saved tickets on a separate list, that list is the return door. If it does not, the return door is search or the Sports/NFL hub — How to find an NFL market is that hunt. This page does not clone it.
International “watchlist” tools are not the US desk
Official Website vs App · flagged
Public third-party pages and some international-web writeups name a watchlist. Official Website vs App: polymarket.com is a different product, and US residents cannot deposit or trade there. We will not mash a third-party save list, a browser bookmark of the international site, or an unofficial Telegram list onto the US app as if Place a Trade printed it. Confirm the live US control after KYC.
Official US docs · no invented Watchlist tab · star / follow / save · US app, not a third-party list
How to add and remove a market
Official Browse Markets is how you land on a card. Official Events & Markets allows searching or browsing to find it again. The pin is only the shortcut. See how to find an NFL market if you are still hunting — this page does not repeat that path.
Add — pin the ticket you already opened
Star, follow, or save
Open one market in the Polymarket US app. Look on that ticket for the live star / follow / save control. Tap it once. That is add. Official Place a Trade does not reprint that button name, so we describe the action. Do not tap Yes or No to “save” a market — that is a trade, not a pin. We do not reprint a live price on the card you pin.
Confirm it comes back without hunting
The point of the pin
Leave the ticket, then try to reopen it from whatever saved / starred / followed list the live app actually shows. If no such list exists, the pin did not create a folder — use search or the Sports/NFL hub to land on the same title. Official Events & Markets allows searching or browsing. Official Browse Markets does not reprint a Search header. Follow the live labels. A pin is only useful if you can find the same printed sentence again.
Remove — tap the same control, or drop it from the list
Undo the pin
On the opened ticket, tap the same star / follow / save control again if that is how the live app unpins. If the live saved list has a remove / unstar action, use that. Official US pages we checked do not reprint a Remove-from-watchlist header. We will not invent one. Removing a pin does not sell a contract, cancel an order, or change cash.
Add = tap the live pin · remove = undo · Yes/No is a trade, not a save
Watching is not a position
Official Glossary splits an open position from an open order. Official Check Your Balance is cash. A saved market is none of those three. See how to read your Polymarket portfolio for the filled row — this page does not clone it.
A watched market is not an open position
Official Glossary
Official Glossary: an open position is the contracts you currently hold. Official Monitor Your Positions: that row shows contracts held, average entry, current market price, and potential payout. A starred or saved ticket has none of those fields unless you already filled a Yes or a No. Pinning a card does not buy size and does not lock a price.
A watched market is not an open order
Official Glossary — still on the book
Official Glossary: an open order is an order waiting on the book to be filled. Official Orders & Trading: a fill creates a position. Saving a market does not rest a limit and does not spend buying power. If you later post size, that is How to place a limit order — a different click. This page does not clone it.
A watched market is not cash, and not a floor
Official Check Your Balance
Official Check Your Balance and Official Glossary: cash is the money not tied to any open position. A saved list does not move cash, does not create withdrawable value, and does not settle at $1.00 or $0.00. Official Market Settlement still grades only contracts you hold. Event contracts can settle at zero. Watching a sentence is not a hedge.
Official Glossary · pin ≠ fill ≠ resting limit ≠ cash · no live number
How to save a market so you can come back
-
Step 1
Open one market in the Polymarket US app — not the international website
Find the ticket first, then open it. Official Place a Trade: tap any market to open it. Official Website vs App: US residents browse and trade in the Polymarket US app; polymarket.com is a different product and US residents cannot deposit or trade there. Official What is Polymarket US? is the fiat, CFTC-regulated desk this page belongs to. If the sports desk is hidden where you live, stop. How to find an NFL market is the hunt. This page starts on a ticket you already opened.
-
Step 2
Look for the live star / follow / save control — we will not invent the header
Official Browse Markets, Official Place a Trade, Official Monitor Your Positions, and Official Glossary do not reprint a retail tab labelled Watchlist, Favorites, Watch, or Saved on the swipe we checked. The action is: on the opened ticket, look for a star, follow, bookmark, or save control. If the live app prints a different label, follow that label. If no such control exists, do not invent a folder — come back through search or the Sports/NFL hub.
-
Step 3
Add the market, then confirm you can reopen it without hunting
Tap the live pin once. That is add. Leave the ticket and try to reopen the same printed title from whatever saved / starred / followed list the live app shows. If that list is missing, the pin did not create a return door. Do not tap Yes or No to “save” the market — that spends cash and opens a position. We do not reprint a live board or a saved-count.
-
Step 4
Remove the pin the same way — that does not sell or cancel anything
Tap the same star / follow / save control again, or use the remove action on the live saved list if the app shows one. Official US pages do not reprint a Remove-from-watchlist header, so we describe the undo. Removing a pin does not close an open position, cancel an open order, or change cash. Those click paths live on later how-tos.
-
Step 5
Treat watching as a bookmark, not a position — then leave the other how-tos alone
Official Glossary: an open position is contracts you hold. Official Monitor Your Positions is that filled row. A watched market is neither. How to read your Polymarket portfolio is the screen for cash and fills. How to read price history and How to read volume are the chart and the stamp on a ticket you reopen. How to check when a market ends is the resolution-date clock. This page does not clone them. Event contracts can settle at zero. Trade only what you can afford to lose. Nothing here is investment advice.
Blocked and contested states
Reported unavailable as of June 2026: Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada and Ohio. That list is not a promise it stays still — litigation around sports event contracts in particular can narrow or shift access. If you are in a listed state, do not treat a saved card as a market you can reopen or trade. If you are in Florida or another green-light state, still confirm the ticket appears before you send money.
Age is 18+ with identity verification. That is a different gate from the 21+ / responsible-gambling frame on our DFS pages, because these are traded financial instruments. If you also want NFL DFS, start at the picks hub — starring a slate there is not this pin. Compare platforms on the prediction-markets hub.
What you will not get from this page
A dollar welcome match, a paste-this promo code, a live saved-count or price, an invented Watchlist / Favorites tab, a cloned find-a-market / portfolio / price-history / volume / market-ends walkthrough, a third-party watchlist hop, or claim buttons for Kalshi, DraftKings, FanDuel, Underdog, Sleeper, PrizePicks, Hard Rock or BetRivers. We could not verify a standing official US welcome bonus on Polymarket’s own terms. Other publishers’ partner codes are theirs; we do not copy them. The honest user-facing line is still US access via CFTC-regulated QCEX — official US help does not reprint a Watchlist tab, the action is star / follow / save on the opened ticket if the live app shows it, add and remove with that same control, watching is not a position, and anything those public pages do not print is not a label we invent.
