ISL Partners with FanCode for Streaming Rights

The Indian Super League (ISL) has taken a major step forward by partnering with FanCode for the 2025/26 season, as announced by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). This collaboration is crucial for the growth of Indian football, as FanCode is known for its digital streaming services, but details regarding television broadcasting remain undecided.

FanCode's role will focus on delivering a "digital-first" viewing experience, which aligns with the AIFF's aim to enhance accessibility for fans. The organization has stated that FanCode will work on finding a suitable television partner to ensure that ISL matches are broadcasted live. This decision will be made collectively by FanCode, AIFF, and the ISL clubs.

M. Satyanarayan, the AIFF Deputy Secretary General, expressed excitement over this partnership, highlighting that it represents a significant opportunity to engage more fans across the country. With a loyal following, the ISL has the potential to become even more popular through high-quality broadcasts tailored for modern audiences.

Moreover, KPS Studios will handle the production of the league, bringing their experience from previous tournaments like the I-League and Durand Cup. This team is expected to elevate the viewing experience for fans, ensuring that they enjoy the best of Indian football.

Despite previous uncertainties surrounding the league due to court disputes, Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya assured that plans are in place to kick off the season on February 14. The collaboration between AIFF, FanCode, and the ISL clubs marks a new chapter in Indian football, aiming to provide fans with a reliable and engaging experience.

As the Indian football landscape evolves, the partnership with FanCode is anticipated to set a new standard for how football is consumed in India. Fans can look forward to an exciting season ahead, with enhanced accessibility and improved broadcasting quality.
