Nepal Premier League OTT
13th November 2025, Kathmandu
The landscape of sports broadcasting in Nepal is undergoing a significant digital transformation.
Nepal Premier League OTT
The Nepal Cricket Association (CAN) has granted the exclusive Over-The-Top (OTT) streaming rights for the entire second season of the Nepal Premier League (NPL) to Dish Media Network’s mobile application, DishHome GO.
This landmark deal means all 32 matches of the tournament will stream exclusively via the DishHome GO app, marking a decisive shift toward premium digital content delivery for the Nepal Premier League OTT audience.
The Digital Shift: Exclusive Access
The NPL second edition runs from November 17 to December 13, 2025 (Mangsir 1 to 27, 2082), hosted at the Tribhuvan University Cricket Ground in Kirtipur.
Viewers must purchase a separate subscription to access the live action on the DishHome GO application. This move establishes a structured pay-per-view model for top-tier national sports content.
Introducing a Global Subscription Model
The pricing structure has been tiered to accommodate a global viewership, utilizing an accessible subscription mechanism: Nepal-based viewers: Rs. 300 for access to all 32 games. Middle East viewers: Rs. 500. International viewers (Other Countries): US $10.
This strategy capitalizes on the global Nepali diaspora, ensuring that fans worldwide can follow the league digitally. Notably, the live broadcasts will be advertisement-free on both the app and the website platform, enhancing the premium viewing experience.

The Technology Driving the Broadcast
The decision to choose DishHome GO highlights the platform’s capacity to handle high-demand live streaming. The technical infrastructure supporting the app enables high-quality, stable delivery across multiple devices.
DishHome GO ensures maximum reach by being available on three primary platforms:
- Mobile: For viewing on smartphones and tablets.
- Android TV: Catering to large-screen smart TV audiences.
- Web: Allowing desktop and laptop access via a browser.
This comprehensive availability ensures viewers can consume the Nepal Premier League OTT content conveniently, regardless of their preferred device.
Simplified Digital Payment Gateway
To facilitate global subscriptions, the payment process has been streamlined and integrated with major digital wallets and payment cards.
Users can easily purchase access using leading Nepalese digital wallets like Khalti and Esewa, alongside international options such as Visa and Mastercard. This ease of transaction is critical for maximizing subscription uptake, especially from international markets.
The End of Free YouTube Streaming
In a major policy decision, CAN has confirmed that the second edition of the NPL matches will not be live-streamed on YouTube. This deliberate exclusion from a free, ad-supported platform underscores the league’s commitment to monetizing its digital rights and building a sustainable revenue model through exclusive, high-value content on the DishHome GO platform.
This partnership effectively positions Dish Media Network as a key player in Nepal’s digital sports media ecosystem. It demonstrates a sophisticated approach to content distribution, leveraging OTT technology to generate revenue, improve the viewer experience, and solidify the professional status of the NPL. The deal is a bellwether for how future high-profile sporting events in Nepal will approach digital media rights.
