Mumbai: FanCode, a Dream Sports company, has acquired the exclusive television and digital broadcast rights for the Indian Super League (ISL) 2025–26 season, marking a significant step in expanding access to Indian football for fans across the country. Kaleidoscope Production and Services (KPS Studios) will serve as the official production partner for the league.
The media rights were awarded following a transparent and structured tender process conducted by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). The ISL interim Managing Committee had floated a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for media rights on January 18, 2026, with bids closing on February 1, 2026. Following the due tender process, the RFQ Committee and the Managing Committee of ISL selected the broadcast and production partners for the upcoming season, which kicks off on February 14.
With this acquisition, FanCode aims to deliver a digital-first viewing experience for ISL fans, combining high-quality broadcasts with the platform’s fan-centric features. Viewers can expect seamless streaming, deeper engagement through data and insights, and flexible access options designed to align with modern sports consumption habits.
AIFF Deputy Secretary General M. Satyanarayan said, “We are pleased to have concluded the ISL media rights process and to partner with FanCode, one of India’s leading sports platforms. FanCode’s focus on accessibility and fan experience aligns with our objective of expanding the league’s footprint and engaging more football fans across the country.”
FanCode co-founder Yannick Colaco said, “The Indian Super League is a significant addition to FanCode, as it represents the very best of Indian football. With the league’s strong and loyal fan following, we see a big opportunity to elevate how fans experience ISL through reliable, high-quality broadcast and a product designed around modern football audiences. This is in line with Dream Sports group’s overall vision of making sports better.”
FanCode’s approach is rooted in accessibility and innovation, ensuring that fans—particularly younger and mobile-first audiences—can follow Indian football without barriers. The partnership aligns with Dream Sports’ broader vision of building a stronger and more inclusive sporting ecosystem in India.
The association further reinforces FanCode’s long-term commitment to Indian football and to fostering a transparent, fan-first sports media landscape. In addition to ISL, FanCode is the home of Formula 1 in India and holds global broadcast partnerships with leagues and properties including LaLiga, MotoGP, the Carabao Cup, Cricket West Indies, and cricket leagues worldwide such as Super Smash, CPL and ILT20.
