Besides, the league will also be telecast in Canada, United States, Middle East, North Africa, South Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Indian Sub-Continent, South East Asia and Australia, through other broadcasters such as ATN, Fox Sports, OSN and Supersport among others.

The league is a collaborative effort by IMG-Reliance and Star India that brings together the best of international footballing talent, and we are confident that sports fans across the world will enjoy watching the arrival of India on the global footballing scene,”
The latest agreement further expands the league’s reach to cover nearly three quarters of a global audience. The detailed list of international territories and broadcasters is as follows:
