The rights are for the next three seasons of the League.
Star India has renewed its exclusive broadcast rights for the English football tournament, the English Premier League, from 2016-17 to 2018-19, for its next three seasons.
With this renewal, Star India will continue to broadcast Premier League matches on a live or delayed basis across India on the Star Sports channels, as well as stream all matches on its digital platforms, Hotstar and starsports.com.
Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore adds, "The popularity of Premier League football has increased significantly in India in recent seasons and one of the major factors this can be attributed to is the quality of Star's production and its promotion of our competition. We look forward to work with Star for at least the next three seasons in order to make all the best Premier League action available to our fans across the country."
