Exclusive: ISL & Sportradar sign new four-year deal worth over ₹57 crore
Swiss sports technology giant to continue as the league’s Data and Integrity Partner until 2030
The Indian Super League (ISL) has secured another major commercial agreement ahead of the 2026-27 season.
Khel Now can exclusively reveal that the ISL and Switzerland-based sports technology company Sportradar have signed a new four-year partnership worth US$6 million (approximately ₹57 crore).
Under the agreement, Sportradar will continue as the league’s official Data and Integrity Partner through the 2029-30 season.
“Sportradar and the ISL have signed a new four-year deal worth US$6 million (approximately ₹57 crore) for the company to continue as the league’s Data and Integrity Partner,” a source tracking the development told Khel Now.
The agreement is worth US$1.5 million (approximately ₹15 crore) per season, representing an increase of approximately 21% over the previous full-season agreement for the 2024-25 campaign.
Second major commercial deal under club-led ISL model
The agreement marks the second major commercial partnership secured by the ISL clubs since taking over the league’s commercial and operational responsibilities following the end of Football Sports Development Limited’s (FSDL) Master Rights Agreement with the All India Football Federation (AIFF).
Earlier this month, the clubs also secured a new four-year licensing agreement with EA Sports, ensuring the Indian Super League will continue to feature in the EA Sports FC franchise after the previous deal expired.
The latest agreement with Sportradar provides another significant revenue stream as the clubs continue building a new commercial structure for the league.
