Digital entertainment platform YuppTV has acquired the streaming rights for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 outside of India.

The over-the-top (OTT) video platform will provide all the action from the high octane twenty20 cricket tournament to viewers across Australia, continental Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, South and Central America, and central and Southeast Asia.

“We are glad to acquire the digital broadcasting rights for the IPL 2019 and would be enabling on-the-go-access to all the action unfolding in the Season 12 of IPL. We are determined to provide our global audience with convenient and real-time access to their favourite sporting action, through a wide gamut of internet-enabled devices,” said YuppTV founder and CEO Uday Reddy.

Within India, Hotstar holds the streaming rights for IPL 2019.

Eight teams will play each other in a total of 60 matches, concluding on 12 May 2019. The current IPL season opened on 23 March with the defending champions Chennai Super Kings beating Royal Challenger Bangalore by six wickets.
