Since its inception in 2008, the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s brainchild has risen by leaps and bounds to be adequately represented by the title sponsors bragging rights to cricket’s most profitable competition.

The title sponsor fees of IPL are strategically important to the BCCI and the companies wanting the gig. So far, three companies had the most extended contracts with BCCI’s cash-rich T20 league— Pepsi, Vivo, and Tata Group. However, the former two had to unexpectedly terminate their agreement due to spot-fixing allegations and border politics.

The large viewership of this lucrative sport has lured brands and MNCs to bid on the title sponsorship. The title sponsorship forms a crucial key to the IPL’s revenue-sharing agreement with the franchises— a fraction of the title sponsorship money goes to the ten franchises.

The 2025 Indian Premier League, also called IPL 18 or TATA IPL 2025, will be the 18th season of the IPL. The tournament will have ten teams playing 74 matches from March 22 to May 25, 2025.

After DLF’s contract with BCCI was terminated, the soft drink giant Pepsi took over from DLF and grabbed sponsorship rights at INR 396 Crore for five years. The second brand sponsor of IPL had the contract till 2017, but the FMCG giant had to step down in 2015 owing to the spot-fixing allegations swirling around. In 2015, an infamous match-fixing scandal in the IPL came, which led to the suspension of two eminent teams from the IPL— the Chennai Super Kings and the Rajasthan Royals were suspended for two years by the Lodha Committee. After this, Pepsi terminated the contract of 5 years in just three years only. This implies that the multinational beverage company just paid INR 238.2 crores to BCCI for the three years it served as the title sponsor of IPL in 2013, 2014, and 2015.

Vivo: 2016-17

When Pepsi walked out of the contract two years before its termination, the BCCI was in a spot of bother to fill the void. However, that void was seen as a golden opportunity by the Chinese mobile company VIVO, which jumped in and grabbed the opportunity to sponsor IPL. Vivo bought rights for the remaining two years of the previous contract from Pepsi by paying INR 100 crores till 2017. The mobile company heavily benefitted from this deal as their sales skyrocketed in the Indian market.

Vivo: 2018-19

Following the resounding success of their previous two-year deal, VIVO renewed and gained the title rights for five years. The Chinese mobile company upped the bar to seal the agreement by paying a whopping INR 2,199 crore and outbid their business rivals, Oppo. This meant the company paid a massive amount of INR 439.8 crores annually. However, Vivo could not complete its five-year contract with BCCI because of escalating Indo-China border tensions. In 2020, the Sino-Indian diplomatic relations got sour, and Vivo pulled out as an IPL sponsor before the Indo-China Galwan Valley face-off. The growing anti-Chinese sentiments forced Vivo to back off and call a premature end to the contract in 2020.

Dream11: 2020

Sponsor	Dream 11
Tenure	2020
Fees	INR 222 Crores per annum

After Vivo prematurely sacked the agreement following a public backlash, the fantasy sports platform Dream11 in 2020 took its place. After the Chinese mobile manufacturing company, Vivo dropped the contract due to the Indo-China tension, Dream11 came on board and made a deal for INR 222 Crore. The fantasy sports platform had a face-off against one of India’s heavyweights— the Tata Group and Edtech startups such as Byju’s and Unacademy— and bagged the bid, causing BCCI to receive INR 217.80 crores less from the previous contract with Vivo. With a clever marketing strategy and catchy advertisements featuring renowned cricketers, the deal with BCCI accelerated the fantasy game platform Dream11, to become one of the world’s top fantasy platforms.

With the hope of diluting Sino-Indian tension in the minds of Indians, the Chinese mobile company VIVO once again returned as the Title Sponsor for the 2021 IPL, paying the same amount as it paid before Dream 11. As this deal was signed, IPL sponsorship cost BCCI a whopping INR 439.8 crores for title sponsorship, but the Chinese manufacturing company again had to pull out after this year as the Indo-China border clash continued to haunt the company. With this, Vivo somehow served five years as the title sponsor of the Indian Premier League. That said, Vivo will also have to pay a 6 percent assignment fee for two years, which comes to INR 29 crore in 2022 and INR 31 crore in 2023, making Vivo pay INR 454 crore— a little over the annual sponsorship money initially committed by the company. The Chinese phone manufacturer wanted to commit to its agreement. Nonetheless, the military face-off between India and China in 2020 caused a large-scale ban on Chinese products in the South Asian peninsula and caused Vivo to step back.

Reliance and Walt Disney Crafted a New Strategy to Win Faster Antitrust Approval

In order to expedite the antitrust clearance process for their $8.5 billion merger of Indian media holdings, Reliance and Walt Disney have reportedly offered to sell some channels. However, they are reportedly fighting any adjustments made to the cricket broadcast rights that they own.

With a combined 120 TV channels and two streaming services, the Reliance-Disney merger, which was announced in February, is sure to be closely watched by antitrust experts. This is because it will result in creating India’s largest entertainment platform, locking horns directly with Sony, Netflix, Amazon, and Zee Entertainment.

The Merger Will Have an Upper Hand

Many are worried about the combined business’s pricing power and its influence on advertisers, especially since Reliance, owned by Asia’s wealthiest man Mukesh Ambani, will own a majority stake in the combined entity. The combined company will also own valuable cricket broadcasting rights worth billions of dollars.

Reliance and Disney have informed the Competition Commission of India (CCI) that they are prepared to sell a small number of television channels (less than ten) in order to allay fears of market dominance and secure early clearance, after the watchdog’s secret requests for approximately one hundred questions pertaining to the merger. There are other stipulations that pertain to regional Indian language channels that the two firms might control.

This Is Not the First Time Such a Merger Is Happening

During the year 2022, Zee and Sony made an offer to sell three television stations in order to create a television behemoth in India that would be worth ten billion dollars. However, despite the fact that this helped them get clearance from the CCI, the merger ultimately failed.

The notification that was issued by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to approve that merger included information about the competitive landscape. The notification revealed that in the local language of Marathi, Disney and Reliance channels had a combined market share of between 65 and 75 per cent at that time. A market share of up to 50 per cent was held by the two with regard to Bengali language entertainment channels.

Cricketing Rights Play a Vital Role

Cricket is an additional area of disagreement in the merger procedure. In India, the sport has a devoted fan base, making the matches highly desirable for sponsors.

The Indian Premier League (IPL), the most prestigious cricket event in the world, and other major leagues’ digital and television cricket rights would be owned by Reliance-Disney.

So far, the CCI has not voiced any worries about the firms’ market strength in cricket rights, but the corporations have argued with the CCI that the rights cannot be sold at the moment because they expire in 2027 and 2028.

According to a report, the corporations are also worried that the approval process could be prolonged because the Indian cricket body would have to approve any sub-licencing of cricket rights.

Hotstar Business From IPL – An Analysis of Its Huge Growth in Short Span
How in the world does a mobile TV app make money out of televised Indian cricket? Hotstar, that’s how. Hotstar, the online streaming service owned by Star India, has become the official broadcaster of IPL matches in India. The sports content distribution giant’s leap into the IPL broadcasting business is a big step toward Hotstar’s quest to create a digital cricket viewing experience beyond anything available in the market today. To understand how Hotstar is making money out of the Indian Premier League, we shall look closely at their business model, especially their growth story in such a short period.

Hotstar Business Model
Reason For the Huge Success of Hotstar
Hotstar Business Model

Hotstar Revenue Sources

The Hotstar business model revolves around three main revenue streams: ads, subscriptions, and other revenue streams.

Advertising on Hotstar

Hotstar generates the bulk of its revenues through advertising. The company has been improving its advertising capabilities to attract more advertisers and increase ad spending. The company recently launched Hotstar Premium, allowing advertisers to run ads during live broadcasts such as cricket matches or other sports events at specific times.

70% of the revenue comes from advertisers wanting to advertise on a cricket platform during IPL.

Subscription Model

Hotstar offers two types of subscriptions – monthly or annual – both priced at Rs 199 per month (approximately $2). Hotstar competes directly with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video with this subscription model. They offer similar pricing for their services in India (although both companies have yet to launch here). This means that Hotstar needs to ensure its content offering is sufficiently attractive for consumers to choose it over competitors.

Reason For the Huge Success of Hotstar

Hotstar Unique Viewers Growth

Hotstar Viewer Engagement

Hotstar is experimenting with viewer engagement options that let you predict the next scores and win prizes.

Hotstar, India’s premier destination for cricket, is experimenting with viewer engagement options that let you predict the next scores and win prizes.

You’ll be given a chance to predict the outcome of certain events within a match, like the next batsman to score or the next bowler to bowl. If your prediction is correct, you’ll earn points that can then be redeemed for cash prizes!

The Rise in Mobile Internet Usage

The rise in mobile internet usage has boosted Hotstar.

The recent IPL season was the most-watched ever, with Hotstar’s live and catch-up viewing contributing to a total of 2.3 billion minutes consumed during the tournament. The platform also saw a whopping 300% growth in time spent on its app during the league compared to the previous year.

More than 269 million viewers spent around 60.6 billion minutes of live IPL streaming in the first week of 2020-21 IPL edition.

IPL is just one part of what makes up Hotstar’s programming slate; it also hosts content from other leagues like La Liga, Bundesliga and Premier League as well as live sports events like Wimbledon.

Hotstar Subscription Services

Hotstar Subscribers Worldwide

Hotstar has done a great job converting viewers to subscribers by focusing on India’s unique viewing patterns (viewers consume content on their phones).

Since then, they’ve focused on building out their capabilities and improving their delivery mechanism to ensure that they can continue to deliver high-quality content at scale.

Recently Hotstar expand its reach into new territories such as Sri Lanka and Afghanistan—it now offers 12 languages across 159 countries!

Hotstar Advertising on Traditional Media

Traditional media has also started using Hotstar advertising media like Print, Outdoor, and Radio.

Hotstar has generated better returns for advertisers than traditional media by providing them with a platform that can be tracked with precision. The focus is on building brands rather than just promoting products.

This move was widely criticized by traditional media outlets, who felt that they were losing out on revenue due to the switch to digital platforms. However, this move has proven to be very beneficial for Hotstar: they have seen an increase in their user base by over 30% since they won the IPL streaming rights. They are also now able to provide advertisers with a more diverse range of options when it comes to advertising on their platform.
