Mumbai: The Tennis Premier League (TPL), India’s premier tennis league, has announced a three-year partnership with JioHotstar, which will serve as the official streaming partner starting from TPL Season 7.
The new alliance marks a major step in expanding the league’s digital presence, enabling fans across India to access live matches, highlights, and exclusive content through JioHotstar’s robust streaming ecosystem.
TPL, played in an easy-to-follow 25-point format, has been instrumental in making tennis a mass sport in India. The league enjoys strong backing from Indian tennis icons Leander Paes, Sania Mirza, and Mahesh Bhupathi, along with celebrity co-owners Rakul Preet Singh and Sonali Bendre Behl. Season 7 is scheduled to take place from December 9 to 14, 2025 at the Gujarat University Tennis Stadium in Ahmedabad, the upcoming host city for the 2030 Commonwealth Games.
This season will also feature Top 50 international players competing in the league for the first time, significantly elevating the playing standards. The international lineup includes Luciano Darderi (World No. 26), Alexandre Muller (World No. 42), Damir Džumhur (World No. 57), former World No. 21 Dan Evans, along with two-time Grand Slam champion Rohan Bopanna and several other leading Indian and international players.
With tennis rapidly gaining popularity in India, the partnership with JioHotstar is expected to further boost viewership and fan engagement. Leveraging JioHotstar’s reach and advanced digital capabilities, TPL aims to attract newer audiences and strengthen its position as one of India’s most dynamic sporting entertainment properties.
“We’re thrilled to welcome JioHotstar as our official OTT partner for the next three seasons,” said Kunal Thakkur, Co-Founder of the Tennis Premier League. “TPL has always aimed to revolutionize how tennis is consumed in India, and this partnership ensures that fans everywhere can now experience the league in the most engaging and accessible way possible.”
Mrunal Jain, Co-Founder of the Tennis Premier League, added, “Our vision has always been to make tennis a household sport in India. Partnering with JioHotstar gives us the perfect platform to amplify that vision — reaching millions of fans and giving them a front-row seat to the excitement of TPL Season 7.”
