Apr 13, 2023
MUMBAI: JioCinema, the digital rights holder of Tata Indian Premier League, has announced that it will organise Tata IPL Fan Parks across more than 35 cities and towns.
Extending their digital-first offerings, JioCinema plans to make out-of-home sports viewing omnipresent across 13 states, for the first time on digital, the company said.
Access to the Tata IPL Fan Parks will be free of cost and fans can enjoy the games live-streamed via the JioCinema app on giant LED screens.
The Fan Parks will be a great family experience to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air along with an array of exciting offerings for people of all ages including a dedicated Family Zone, Kids Zone, Food & Beverages, and the JioCinema Experience Zone, it added.
JioCinema will invite viewers to Tata IPL Fan Parks in Ghaziabad, Gorakhpur, and Rohtak on April 15 for the live-streaming the Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Capitals match followed by Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings fixture.
Fans from Nashik, Ajmer, and Kochi will experience the double-header on the 16th as Mumbai Indians host Kolkata Knight Riders first and Gujarat Titans take on Rajasthan Royals in the second match. TATA IPL Fan Park gates will open from 1:30 PM onwards.
"Even as fans and viewers continue to get a world-class sports viewing experience at their convenience, we want our offerings to be ubiquitous across the country, whether it be from the comfort of home or outdoors with friends and family," said a Viacom18 Spokesperson. "Our record TATA IPL viewership on JioCinema since the opening game is a testament to shifting consumer preference for digital when viewing live sports and we are now taking it to the next level by bringing in the community viewing dimension."
