Navi UPI joins hands with CSK, RCB, and SRH ahead of IPL 2026

Indian financial services company Navi UPI has announced partnerships with three Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises for the 2026 season.

The partnership with the three teams, which are Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH), and the Chennai Super Kings, will see Navi UPI serve as their Official Payments Partner and will work with them on match-related fan engagement activations throughout the season. 

Navi UPI will launch team-linked integrations and on-ground activations, which will include in-match recognitions such as the “Fastest Moment of the Match” for RCB players, on-ground visibility through a cheerleader association with CSK, and social media–led fan engagement campaigns.

Rajiv Naresh, MD & CEO, Navi (formerly Navi Technologies), commented:

“The tournament brings together millions of people across the country in a way few platforms can. Our partnerships this season are about showing up where the energy is at its highest and connecting Navi UPI with everyday payment moments at scale. Whether it’s in the middle of a match or outside of it, the expectation today is simple: payments should be instant, seamless, and effortless. That’s exactly what we deliver with Navi UPI.”
