In terms of INR, the per match value of an IPL game for the new rights cycle has nearly doubled from what Star India had paid for the 2018-22 cycle
In terms of INR, the per match value of an IPL game for the new rights cycle has nearly doubled (jump of 98%) from the INR 54.23 crore (US$ 8.47 million approx. at the time) Star India had paid for the 2018-22 cycle. In US$ terms, there is a jump of 62.7% from $8.47 million to $13.78 million.
In terms of the per match value, the combined number of INR 107.5 crore ($13.78 million approx.) has put the IPL among the highest ranked in all sports, alongside the NFL and the English Premier League. Each NFL match is worth $35.07 million* (based on the 10-year rights deal signed in 2022) while the value of an EPL match as per the 2022-25 rights deal is listed at $11.34 million.
Based on 74 matches per season for the next five years, the new TV rights package is worth INR 21,275 crore ($2.72 billion approx.) while the digital rights are worth INR 18,500 crore ($2.37 billion approx.). In terms of INR value, the overall number is 2.43 times or 143% higher than the previous IPL rights deal, worth INR 16,347.5 crore ($2.55 billion approx. at the time). In US dollar terms, the rise is exactly double or 100%.
The biggest driver of this growth in IPL rights has been the exponential rise of the digital rights. The INR 18,500 crore the highest bidder paid was by itself 13% higher than the overall money Star India had paid to bag the global consolidated rights (TV and digital) for the previous five-year cycle. The importance and the rapid rise of the digital footprint in the Indian market can be gauged from the fact that in 2017, the highest bid for the digital rights was INR 3900 crore ($610 million approx. at the time) by Facebook.
In the e-auction that started on Sunday, the rules were such that the bids for Packages A and B would be submitted together and the winner of Package A would be determined first. That winner also had the option of entering into a bidding contest with the highest bidder for Package B.
At the end of the first day of the e-auction, the highest bid for the digital rights (Package B) had been parked at INR 48 crore (US$ 6.15 million approx.) per match. That number had not changed in the first half on Monday. But once the highest bid for Package A was determined, that bidder decided to vie for Package B, too. Consequently, the per match value for Package B increased before being sold for INR 50 crore.
The highest bid for the TV rights was 17.3% higher than the base price of INR 49 crore ($6.3 million approx.) the IPL had set for Package A. The corresponding number for digital rights saw a massive jump of 51.5% higher than the base price of INR 33 crore ($4.2 million approx.).
The names of the winners have not been disclosed yet by the IPL authorities as the e-auction is still in progress with bidders contesting for the final two packages: Package C (digital rights for India subcontinent for a special bouquet of matches) and Package D (rest of world). Consequently, the overall worth of the IPL rights for the next cycle will see a change too.
It is learned that the bidding for Package C had commenced late on Monday and is set to resume on Tuesday. Package C comprises 'Special Package' non-exclusive matches including the tournament opener, weekend evening matches, and the four playoffs, including the final. While the opening match and the playoffs will be mandatory, the IPL will determine the number and which of the evening matches from the double-headers will be included, based on the total number of games inESPNcricin
The number of matches in this package, the IPL has said, will vary depending on the total number of matches in a season. If the IPL comprises 74 matches (like IPL 2022), the Special Package will have 18 matches. If there are more than 74 matches in a season, then the Special Package matches will rise in steps of two for every additional 10 matches. So if there are 84 matches in a season, then the Special Package matches will rise to 20 and if the tournament has 94 games, the Special Package will have 22 matches.
Just like the winner of Package A could enter into a bidding contest with the highest bidder for Package B, the winner of Package B will also have the choice of getting into a direct contest with the highest bidders of Packages C and D each.
