FanCode, the Indian digital sports platform, has secured exclusive streaming rights to Japanese soccer's top-tier J.League.
The agreement, which covers the entire subcontinent and not just India, will see FanCode live-stream select matches throughout the remainder of the 2022 campaign, which got underway on February 18.
The action will be live for a subcontinental audience to stream both via the FanCode mobile app, and via the FanCode.com online site.
Last year, the J.League was covered in the subcontinent by Sony Pictures Networks, through a one-season arrangement.
FanCode adds action from the 18-team J.League to a burgeoning soccer portfolio that already includes German soccer’s top-tier Bundesliga.
The platform is currently better known for its cricket coverage. It currently holds rights to cover all West Indies international fixtures, second-tier ‘pathway’ national team events organized by the International Cricket Council, English domestic cricket's 'Hundred', and the European Cricket League.
