The Premier League (PL) is all set to bring a first-of-its-kind fan experience to Mumbai in October at GamingCon Bharat, India’s premier gaming festival, offering gaming and entertainment enthusiasts a new way to experience the excitement of the league.
Over 20,000 people from the gaming, esports, and entertainment sectors will attend the two-day event, which will take place on October 17 and 18 at Hall 3, Bombay Exhibition Centre, NESCO, Mumbai.
The experience, which includes a dedicated Premier League Zone, will provide fans with unique access and connection with the world’s top football league. The renowned PL Trophy will be central to the Zone, allowing a one-of-a-kind opportunity to get up close and personal with one of football’s most prestigious pieces of silverware.
There will also be a variety of activities aimed at celebrating the League, its clubs, and the link between football and gaming. This features a special Home Kit display featuring all 20 PL teams, a Premier League Hall of Fame experience, and a number of physical and virtual activations from EA SPORTS and other Premier League partners.
For die-hard Indian fans, the event will extend into the evening with live match screenings, bringing supporters together to watch their respective clubs in action on a huge screen. JioStar, the league’s official broadcast partner in India, will support the viewing parties, which will replicate the ambience and shared experience of watching a game together.
Fans can get access to the watching parties by purchasing the PL Pass, which is available online through the District App. The first 1,000 pass buyers will also receive a unique Premier League goodie bag, as well as access to GamingCon Bharat and viewing parties.
Premier League India, Managing Director, Hrishikesh Shende, said, “India has a significant and rapidly growing Premier League fanbase, and we are always looking for new and creative ways to bring the Premier League closer to our fans in India. GamingCon Bharat places the Premier League at the confluence of football, gaming and entertainment in one space. Through the Premier League Zone, the Trophy, our interactive experiences and the viewing parties, we want to create exciting new activations for people who may be discovering the League, while also giving our loyal fans a unique experience.”
The event reinforces the Premier League’s ongoing commitment to engage with its Indian supporters. Since opening its Mumbai office in 2025, the league has expanded its footprint in the nation with a variety of fan experiences, grassroots football, and community activities.
