US EditionFanCode Secures Exclusive ISL Global Broadcast Rights Amid Intense Bidding
FanCode won broadcast and streaming rights while Kaleidoscope Production and Services secured production for the ISL 2025-26, chosen via a 70:30 quality-cost evaluation.
- On Monday, the All India Football Federation selected FanCode as the official media partner for the 2025/26 ISL season and appointed Kaleidoscope Production and Services for production.
- After issuing an RFQ on December 18, AIFF received bids by February 1 and held technical bidding on February 2 with a 70:30 weighting and a qualification threshold of at least 35 points.
- After the technical round, Monarch and Two Circles were disqualified, and JioStar, the previous exclusive ISL partner, lost out after quoting a financial bid of around Rs., with FanCode submitting two plans, and the BEC accepting a broadcast-and-streaming-only proposal.
- It remains unclear which television outlet will carry live matches as FanCode will choose a partner, and FanCode, AIFF and ISL clubs will jointly sign off on the final TV arrangement.
- With the schedule set for February 14, 2026, stakeholders face a sharply reduced media market after a 97% drop in media-rights valuation, as Mohun Bagan Super Giant prepare to face Kerala Blasters at Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata.
