Mumbai: The Tennis Premier League (TPL) powered by Clear Premium Water is set to bring high-octane tennis action to fans across India as Sony Sports Network comes onboard as the official television broadcast partner for Season 7.
The much-awaited season will air live from December 9 to 14, 2025, on Sony Sports Ten 5 and Sony Sports Ten 5 HD channels, directly from the Gujarat University Tennis Stadium, Ahmedabad.
Marking a landmark year for the league, TPL Season 7 will see Top 50 ranked international players competing in an Indian tennis league for the very first time.
