FanCode has further strengthened its investment in Indian domestic cricket after securing the digital streaming rights for the 2026 Delhi Premier League (DPL), adding another fast-growing competition to its expanding portfolio of premium sports properties.
The Dream Sports-owned platform will stream all 57 matches from the third edition of the tournament, covering both the men’s and women’s competitions. Organised by the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA), the league will run from July 31 to September 2, bringing together some of India’s leading domestic and Indian Premier League (IPL) talent alongside the country’s emerging cricketers.
The men’s competition will feature eight franchises contesting 44 matches, while the women’s tournament will comprise four teams playing 13 fixtures. Since its launch in 2024, the DPL has established itself as one of India’s fastest-growing state-based T20 competitions, offering a high-profile platform for player development and talent identification.
Among the headline names expected to feature this season are Nitish Rana, Harshit Rana, Ayush Badoni, Navdeep Saini, Suyash Sharma, Kulwant Khejroliya, Mayank Yadav, Prince Yadav and Priyansh Arya, further enhancing the league’s appeal for fans and commercial partners alike.
Commenting on the agreement, a FanCode spokesperson said, “The Delhi Premier League has quickly established itself as one of India’s most exciting domestic T20 competitions, and we’re thrilled to bring every match — men’s and women’s — to fans across the country. With 57 matches over five action-packed weeks, DPL 2026 promises exciting cricket action and entertainment for fans.”
The acquisition reinforces FanCode’s strategy of building a diversified rights portfolio spanning domestic and international sport. Alongside DPL, the platform has recently expanded its content offering through rights agreements covering SAFF Women’s Championship 2026, Lanka Premier League, The Masters, PGA Championships and US Open.
For the Delhi Premier League, the partnership significantly expands the tournament’s digital reach and accessibility, while providing FanCode with another high-engagement cricket property as competition intensifies in India’s rapidly evolving sports streaming market.
