Dream11 is currently also the lead sponsor of the Indian men’s and women’s national cricket teams.

Meanwhile, last week SA20 announced global technology company Zoho as its official business technology partner.

The league’s title sponsor, through a multi-year tie-up unveiled in December 2022, is Betway.

CSA launched SA20 in partnership with sub-Saharan pay-TV broadcaster SuperSport, which is airing the competition domestically.

Pay-TV broadcaster Sky Sports, meanwhile, holds the rights to show the league in the UK and Ireland until the end of the 2027 season under a five-year deal struck ahead of last year’s debut campaign.

Viacom18, one of India’s leading entertainment networks, secured SA20 rights in its home market for 10 years.
