Is the NPL free on YouTube?
No. The NPL was free on YouTube in its first season, but from 2025 it moved to paid TV and streaming, and in 2026 the worldwide streaming rights belong to NetTV. YouTube has not been announced as an official NPL 2026 platform.
What about Star Sports, YoNo TV and other apps?
Star Sports carried the NPL in India in 2024 and 2025; we have not seen a confirmed Indian TV deal for 2026. "Live TV" apps and websites that are not Himalaya TV or NetTV are not official NPL broadcasters — streams there are unlicensed, often delayed and full of betting pop-ups. Watch through the official rights holders.
How to watch on NetTV
Install the NetTV app (Android, iOS) or open the NetTV website, create an account and buy the NPL season pass. It works on phones, tablets and in the browser.
