FanCode, a leading digital sports platform in India, has recently secured the exclusive television and digital rights for three of the Indian football team's upcoming fixtures. This acquisition is seen as a significant opportunity to bolster both FanCode's platform and the digital footprint of Indian football.
The games that are now under FanCode's umbrella include an international friendly against Thailand scheduled for June 4 at Thammasat Stadium in Pathum Thani, Thailand. Additionally, the Blue Tigers will face off against Hong Kong on June 10 in the AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifier at Kai Tak in Hong Kong. The third fixture is an away game against Bangladesh slated for November 18.
India had previously opened their campaign with a goalless draw against Bangladesh played in Shillong this past March. Currently, India finds itself placed alongside Bangladesh, Singapore, and Hong Kong in Group C during this third round of qualifiers.
Strengthening digital footprint through acquisition
FanCode’s acquisition of these games presents a crucial opportunity to strengthen both its own platform and Indian football’s digital presence. This agreement reaffirms FanCode not just as a streaming service but also as a comprehensive sports destination.
In recent times, FanCode has been expanding its portfolio by acquiring exclusive television and digital rights for some prestigious European football tournaments such as UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 and the UEFA U21 Men’s Championship 2025. These acquisitions further solidify its position as one of India's leading sports platforms. Moreover, along with these high-profile European tournaments, FanCode has also secured a five-year deal with LALIGA - another testament to its commitment towards providing comprehensive coverage of global sporting events to Indian audiences.
FanCode's recent acquisitions of exclusive rights to broadcast key Indian football fixtures, along with prestigious European tournaments and a long-term deal with LALIGA, underscore its commitment to enhancing the sports viewing experience for fans. By doing so, it is not only strengthening its own platform but also significantly contributing to the expansion of Indian football's digital footprint.
