Explained: How Much Money BCCI Makes from IPL 2025 – Full Financial Report

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 came to an end on June 3, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifting the trophy for the very first time. They defeated Punjab Kings in the final, held in Ahmedabad, to win the popular T20 tournament.

Among all T20 leagues across the world, IPL is the richest, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) earns a huge chunk from it through ads, sponsors, broadcasting, ticket sales, and digital streaming.

How much has the Indian cricket board earned from the 18th season of the IPL 2025?

Title Sponsorship Deal – ₹500 Crore Boost for BCCI

The Tata Group is the title sponsor of the IPL and has renewed its deal for another five years, from 2024 to 2028, for a total of ₹2,500 crore. That means they’ll be paying ₹500 crore each year, including for the 2025 season.

Ticket Sales & Matchday Income – Earnings from Stadium Revenue

There are other ways to earn money, like selling tickets. Things sold on match days, such as food, drinks, and merchandise, also bring in regular income for the league.

Right now, the BCCI takes 20% of the central revenue, sponsorship money, and ticket sales from each team. It also gets 12.5% of the money earned through licensing. The rest of the earnings are shared among the franchises. The BCCI gives each team ₹425 crore as part of a fixed central revenue-sharing arrangement.

In 2024, the BCCI reportedly earned Rs. 20,686 crore. In the 2023 financial year, it announced a revenue of Rs. 16,493 crore.

Broadcasting Rights – ₹9,678 Crore from TV & Digital Deals 

This is the biggest money-maker. TV and digital rights were sold separately:

• TV rights: Held by Star Sports
• Digital streaming rights: Bought by Viacom18 (owned by Reliance)

As per Sportstar, the broadcast rights deal brought in a whopping ₹9,678 crore overall. That means the BCCI made around ₹130.7 crore for every single match just from broadcasting.

Other Sponsorship & Commercial Partnerships – Additional Revenue Streams

Besides Tata, many brands are involved in IPL. These include:

• Associate Partners: My11Circle, Angel One, RuPay

• Strategic Timeout Partner: CEAT

• Official Umpire Partner: Wonder Cement

• Orange & Purple Cap Partner: Aramco
