New Delhi: The first match of IPL 2025 will be played on Saturday, March 22, between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Fans can enjoy this thrilling encounter live from their homes, as the IPL 2025 live streaming will be available on TV and mobile apps. The best part? Fans can watch the IPL for free, but with one condition.

How to Watch IPL 2025 for Free?

With the recent merger of JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar, there’s a new rule for free IPL streaming. Last season, IPL was streamed for free on JioCinema, but this year, Jio users must recharge for ₹299 or more to get a free JioHotstar subscription. This means users can watch IPL 2025 matches live for free if they meet this condition.

If you don’t want to recharge ₹299, you can still subscribe separately for just ₹149 to access IPL 2025 live streaming. This offer is valid only for the IPL 2025 season, starting from March 22.

Where to Watch IPL 2025 Live on TV?

For TV viewers, IPL 2025 will be broadcasted live on the Star Sports Network. The matches will have commentary in multiple languages, including Hindi, English, Tamil, and Telugu. Additionally, some IPL matches may be available for free on Star Utsav Movies, but official confirmation is awaited.
