The tournament commences on March 21 with the inaugural match featuring Kolkata Knight Riders against Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Jio’s new offer makes it easier than ever before to live-stream.
How to Watch IPL 2025 for Free on JioHotstar?
To avail this offer, users need to meet the following criteria:
✅ Existing Jio Users: Recharge with ₹299 or above (min 1.5GB/day plan).
✅ New Jio Users: Purchase a new Jio SIM and activate it with a ₹299 or above plan.
✅ Existing Users Who Recharged Before March 17: Purchase a ₹100 add-on pack to avail the offer.

New Model of Streaming for IPL 2025
Unlike previous years, when there was completely free IPL streaming courtesy of JioCinema, the merged unit JioHotstar (Disney-Reliance tie-up) will introduce a hybrid model where consumers may need to subscribe beyond a limit of content watching.
Also, Jio is offering a 50-day free trial of its high-speed broadband plan, ensuring seamless sports streaming and solidifying its home internet dominance.
