The BCCI on Thursday confirmed that they and Vivo have suspended the title sponsorship deal for Indian Premier League. “The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and vivo Mobile India Pvt Ltd have decided to suspend their partnership for Indian Premier League in 2020. Vivo won the IPL title sponsorship rights for five years from 2018 to 2022 for a reported sum of ₹2,190 crore, approximately ₹440 crore per annum.
The IPL will have a new title sponsor for its 13th edition, slated to be held in UAE from September 19 to November 10. The BCCI is likely to float a tender for the new title sponsors as mandated by its constitution.
This is the third time that the Indian Premier League will be held outside of India, previously the 2009 edition was held in South Africa, while the 2014 edition was partially held in UAE, both times because of the Lok Sabha elections.
