A Strong Presence in India

Sportradar already had a significant presence in India as the company had been working with top football leagues and state cricket associations, along with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

The agreement with the BCCI was signed in 2020, and since then Sportradar monitored all matches played in the Indian Premier League to spot eventual irregularities regarding match fixing. Cricket betting is extremely popular in India as this sport is the most followed in the country.

India’s Hero ISL (Hero Indian Super League), the top football league in the country with over 400 million viewers on television each season, has also been working together with Sportradar since 2016 in order to prevent integrity problems in the competition.

On an international level, Sportradar has been working with some of the biggest leagues in the world. Among the company’s clients and partners we can find, among others, all the major professional leagues in the United States: National Football League (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA), National Hockey League (NHL) and Major League Baseball (MLB).
