In India, the broadcasting rights for the Football World Cup are typically acquired by major OTT platforms and television networks. Currently, the official streaming rights for FIFA World Cup matches in India are held by the JioCinema platform, which is a popular Indian OTT service operated by Reliance Jio.
JioCinema offers live streaming of all World Cup matches with multiple language commentary options, including Hindi, English, and several regional Indian languages. The platform provides high-quality streaming in HD and 4K resolution, making it accessible to viewers across various internet speeds.
Another significant player in the Indian OTT market is Hotstar （now Disney+ Hotstar）, which has previously held rights for major sporting events. However, for the current World Cup cycle, JioCinema has emerged as the primary destination for football fans in India seeking live World Cup action.
The availability of World Cup matches on JioCinema represents a significant development in India\“s digital entertainment landscape, as it brings world-class football coverage to millions of mobile users at affordable data rates, aligning with India\“s growing digital infrastructure. |
