The All India Football Federation (AIFF), on Monday, selected FanCode as the official media partner for the Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26 season. Meanwhile, Kaleidoscope Production and Services (KPS) was awarded the production rights.
FanCode, owned by Dream Sports, had proposed two plans — with and without production — both of which quoted a financial bid of over ₹8.5 crore each. However, the ‘quality-and-cost-based selection (70:30)’ by the Bid Evaluation Committee (BEC) resulted in the second proposal (with only broadcast and streaming) being accepted.
Meanwhile, KPS, which has previously handled the production of I-League, Durand Cup and Bengal Super League matches, was awarded the production rights. It had quoted a financial bid of over ₹5 crore.
JioStar, the exclusive broadcast partner of the ISL for the last two seasons and whose parent company owned the league for the last 10 years, lost out, having quoted a financial bid of around ₹5 crore.
The 2025-26 season of the ISL is set to begin on February 14, with the tentative schedule having Mohun Bagan Super Giant lock horns with Kerala Blasters at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
