Premier League Fan Experience at GamingCon Bharat
The Premier League announced that it will bring a first‑of‑its‑kind fan experience to Mumbai during GamingCon Bharat, India’s premier gaming festival, on 17 and 18 October 2026. The two‑day event will be held in Hall 3 of the Bombay Exhibition Centre, NESCO, Mumbai, and is expected to attract more than 20,000 attendees from gaming, esports and entertainment communities.
The dedicated Premier League Zone will feature the iconic Premier League Trophy, allowing fans to view the prestigious silverware up close. Additional attractions include a Home Kit display showcasing all 20 Premier League clubs, a Premier League Hall of Fame experience, and a series of physical and virtual activations from EA SPORTS and other league partners.
Live match screenings will be organized in the evening, recreating the communal atmosphere of watching games together. These viewing parties will be accessible through the PL Pass, which can be purchased online via the District App or the provided link. The first 1,000 PL Pass holders will receive an exclusive Premier League goodie bag in addition to entry to GamingCon Bharat and the viewing parties. JioStar, the league’s official broadcast partner in India, will support the screenings.
Premier League India Managing Director Hrishikesh Shende said, “India has a significant and rapidly growing Premier League fanbase, and we are always looking for new and creative ways to bring the Premier League closer to our fans in India. GamingCon Bharat places the Premier League at the confluence of football, gaming and entertainment in one space. Through the Premier League Zone, the Trophy, our interactive experiences and the viewing parties, we want to create exciting new activations for people who may be discovering the League, while also giving our loyal fans a unique experience.”
The initiative builds on the Premier League’s ongoing commitment to its Indian audience. Since opening its Mumbai office in 2025, the league has expanded its presence through fan experiences, grassroots football, and community initiatives. The Premier League reaches 1.2 billion homes across 189 countries, underscoring its global footprint.
