FanCode, the leading Indian sports OTT platform, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Formula 1 (F1) to secure exclusive broadcast rights for the Indian market over the next two seasons. But what does this mean for Indian motorsports enthusiasts?
Affordable Access to F1 Races on FanCode
Gone are the days of expensive subscriptions and limited accessibility. FanCode promises to make F1 races more affordable and easily accessible to Indian fans. With a focus on delivering a world-class experience, FanCode aims to bring the excitement of F1 to millions of viewers across the country.
Comprehensive Coverage for F1 Fans in India
FanCode's coverage of F1 races will be extensive, ensuring that fans don't miss a single moment of the action. From practice and qualifying sessions to F1 Sprint events and Grands Prix, fans will have the flexibility to choose what they want to watch. Whether it's individual race passes or a season pass for all 24 races, FanCode has it covered.
Multiple Device Compatibility for Viewing Convenience
FanCode understands the importance of convenience in today's digital age. That's why they have made sure that F1 races can be streamed across multiple devices, including smart TVs, mobile phones, and tablets. This allows fans to enjoy the races wherever they are and whenever they want.
Cost-Effective Pricing Options for F1 Viewing
FanCode aims to make F1 races more accessible by offering cost-effective pricing options. A race pass will be available for just Rs 49, allowing fans to catch a single race without breaking the bank. For the ultimate experience, a season pass will be available for Rs 899. However, FanCode is offering an inaugural discount, making the season pass available for Rs 599 for a limited time.
FanCode's Commitment to Expanding F1's Reach in India
Yannick Colaco, co-founder of FanCode, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "Formula 1 is among the biggest sporting properties in the world, and we're thrilled to partner with them to bring all the exciting action to millions of fans in India." FanCode aims not only to provide a world-class experience but also to expand the reach of F1 to a wider audience throughout the country.
F1's Transition from Disney Star to FanCode
The exclusive partnership between FanCode and F1 comes after F1's decision to part ways with Disney Star, which previously streamed F1 events in India. F1 introduced its own streaming service, F1 TV, to cater to the region's audience. However, FanCode's collaboration with F1 is set to revolutionize the way Indians experience the premier motorsports event.
FanCode's Track Record in Sports Broadcasting
FanCode has already made a name for itself by broadcasting various sporting events and leagues to over 100 million sports fans in India. Their previous broadcasts include the Hockey World Cup, ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup, Rugby World Cup, FIFA Women's World Cup, FIBA Basketball World Cup, as well as cricket leagues such as the Caribbean Premier League, The Hundred, and Bangladesh Premier League.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in expanding the reach of F1 in India, and fans can now look forward to enjoying the thrill of F1 races like never before.
