FanCode bags media rights of upcoming Indian Super League season

FanCode has bagged the media rights for the upcoming season of the Indian Super League (ISL), clearing one more hurdle before the competition kicks off on February 14. Kaleidoscope Production and Services (KPS Studios) have been awarded with the rights to handle the production of the league.

FanCode has earned both the streaming and television rights for the ISL. However, as per the Indian Express, it is looking for a partner to broadcast the league on television since FanCode does not have a TV channel of its own.
