Here, we look at the organisations serving as the official sponsors and partners of the Indian Premier League (IPL) for its 2026 season.
When it initially took over the IPL title sponsorship from Vivo in 2022, the TATA Group and the IPL had agreed upon a two-year deal reportedly worth INR 670 crore.
In January 2024, TATA secured the IPL title rights for the next five years (2024–28), renewing its association with a record-breaking sum of INR 2,500 crore.
As per the current agreement, TATA acts as the title partner of both the IPL and the Women’s Premier League (WPL).
In February 2024, Angel One, an Indian stockbroker, pipped rival company Groww in the IPL’s online stock trading sponsorship category with a winning bid of INR 410 crore against the latter’s bid of INR 380 crore, according to Cricbuzz.
The deal between Angel One and the IPL is currently set to run until 2028.
In February 2024, RuPay, an Indian financial and payment services system, became an official IPL partner with a bid of INR 210 crore on a three-year basis. RuPay did not face any competition in this category.
The partnership is set to run until the conclusion of the 2026 IPL season.
In January 2026, Google’s AI platform Gemini signed a multi-year partnership agreement with the IPL.
This three-year premier partnership agreement for the IPL between Gemini and the BCCI is reportedly worth INR 270 crore.
In May 2024, the Board of Control for Cricket in India signed Rajasthan-based Wonder Cement as the official umpire partner for the IPL. The deal is reportedly worth INR 250 crore and set to run until 2028.
In February 2024, Indian multinational tyre manufacturer CEAT, the flagship company of the RPG Group, secured the Strategic Timeout Partner slot in the IPL portfolio with a five-year deal reportedly worth INR 240 crore (INR 48 crore per year until 2028).
In 2017, Star India won the overall broadcasting rights for the IPL. The deal was initially penned for a period of five years, covering the IPL from its 2018 to 2022 editions.
Star currently holds only the television broadcasting rights for the 2023–27 IPL cycle.
After Viacom18 won the exclusive digital rights for the IPL for the 2023–27 cycle by paying a whopping US$2.7 billion, it was announced that the IPL 2023 matches would be streamed for free on the company’s JioCinema platform.
In February 2025, Viacom18 and The Walt Disney Company announced the merger of their streaming platforms — respectively, JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar — to form a unified platform, JioHotstar. Viacom18 holds the majority stake in this platform with a 63.16% ownership, with Disney holding the remaining 36.84%.
Hotstar, now JioHotstar, returned as the IPL’s online streaming platform ahead of its 2025 edition after the merger was completed. The deal will be up for renewal after the 2027 season.
