With the evening starts for the I-League back, a direct face-off with ISL is expected. However, no broadcasting deal has yet been finalised for I-League. Thus, there remains uncertainty as to where the matches could be seen.
Last year Star Sports was the official broadcaster of I-League but faced a lot of backlash from fans and club officials after deciding to broadcast not all but selected number of matches.
“We need some more time to decide on the broadcaster. We are already in the discussion with a new broadcaster and a production house. Within a few days, things should be sorted out,” League Committee chairman Subrata Dutta was quoted as saying by Times of India.
The league was originally scheduled for a start on November 2. But All India Football Federation’s (AIFF) League Committee decided to postpone the start to November 30 during their meet on October 25.
