Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]: The Governing Council of the IPL invites bids from reputed entities to acquire the media rights for the Indian Premier League seasons 2023-2027, through a tender process.

“The Tender document is now available for purchase. For the first time in @IPL history, the media rights will be e-auctioned. The e-auction will commence from June 12th, 2022. I’ve no doubts that with this process there will not only be revenue maximisation but also value maximisation, which will benefit India Cricket immensely,” he said.
