YuppTV gets digital broadcasting rights for IPL 2021 in almost 100 countries
YuppTV has announced that it has received the digital broadcasting rights for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. The subscribers of YuppTV will be able to watch live matches scheduled for IPL 2021 starting from April 9. Fans in around 100 countries will be able to watch the matches live as they are played behind closed doors due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. With the announcement, YuppTV subscribers (outside India) will now join Disney+ Hotstar subscribers (within India) in watching IPL 2021 in their homes.
“YuppTV is committed to the growth of sports in the country and will continue to be driven by the power of cricket. Our users can enjoy their favourite sporting event in real time from the convenience of their homes,” said Uday Reddy, Founder and CEO of YuppTV.
The company has also announced that it will broadcast Vivo IPL 2021 close to 100 countries across Australia, Bhutan, Continental Europe, Central and South America, Central Asia, Sri Lanka, South East Asia (except Singapore and Malaysia), Maldives, and Nepal.
The membership cost of YuppTV in India is Rs. 49 per month and it allows access to 160 channels including Zoom, Times Now, NDTV India, Aaj Tak, and many others, along with a host of TV shows and movies.
It is important to note that the matches will not be streamed in India via YuppTV since Disney+ Hotstar has the exclusive rights for IPL 2021 in the country. In India, IPL Live can only be streamed on Disney+ Hotstar. Viewers can watch the matches on Star India's sports channel catalogue Star Sports.
The 14th season of IPL, Vivo IPL 2021 will start from April 9 at 7:30pm IST. Fans can stream IPL 2021 on the YuppTV website or download the app on their smartphone or smart TV.
