    BCCI to release tender of IPL 2023-27 media rights cycle on 25 Oct

    Mumbai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the dates for release of the tender of Indian Premier League (IPL) media rights for 2023-27 cycle. The cricket governing body made the decisions in a meeting on Tuesday.

    The BCCI has decided that the IPL media rights tender for the cycle 2023-2027 will be released immediately after the appointment of two new IPL teams which is scheduled to be announced on 25 October.

    In a first for the IPL, the last two league matches before the Vivo IPL 2021 playoffs will be played concurrently. On the last day of the league stage (8 October) of the ongoing season, instead of having one afternoon match and one evening match, two matches (Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Capitals) will be played simultaneously at 7.30 p.m IST (6.00 p.m GST).

    Star TV Network had been awarded the media (TV+digital) rights for the 2019-23 cycle for $2.55 billion. This year Sony, Jio, and Amazon are seen as top bidders for the media rights.
