The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has already begun initiating a new sponsorship deal, which would increase the previous sponsorship amount from Rs 358 crores to Rs 450 crores.
According to NDTV, the board is looking to rope in a new sponsor for the 2025-28 period, valuing the sponsorship at around Rs 450 crore.
Dream11 had signed a three-year deal with the BCCI, which would have seen the brand pay the Indian board Rs 358 crore over the course of the contract. However, the deal had to be ended roughly two years from the date the contracts were signed.
NDTV sources have confirmed that the BCCI is now looking to get a sponsor for 140 matches from 2025 to 2028. It would be an improved contract in comparison to what Dream11 paid the board. The sponsorship would be for both home and away bilateral matches, as well as multi-team tournaments organized by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and the International Cricket Council (ICC).
The BCCI has also set targets of Rs 3.5 crore per bilateral match and Rs 1.5 crore for ICC and ACC fixtures-more than Dream11 but less than what it used to get from Byju’s.
