Seven league deals, media rights included, already run into IPL 2027, led by TATA's title sponsorship, which the BCCI signed for 2024 to 2028. RuPay's three-year term ended with the 2026 season and no renewal has been announced. At team level, six of the ten franchises have at least one deal signed for 2027, the biggest of them Nike's return to the IPL as Mumbai Indians' kit maker. The BCCI has not announced the 2027 season dates; retentions close on 17 November and the auction is in Goa on 16 December 2026.
The season's page is IPL 2027 sponsors, and it fills in as deals are signed. The 2026 roster is on IPL 2026.
When does IPL 2027 start?
Not announced. The BCCI's 2024 plan set aside 14 March to 30 May for the 2027 season, Business Standard reported, and BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said in June that the board was looking at 10 March to 15 May. The dates before it are fixed. Franchises submit their retention lists by 17 November, two days later than first set; player registration closes on 23 November, and the mini-auction is in Goa on 16 December, as Sportstar and Cricbuzz reported from the BCCI's note to the franchises on 2 November.
Who sponsors IPL 2027 at league level?
Only the deals whose announced term covers 2027. Where the term comes from press reports and not from the BCCI, the table says so.
| Role | Brand | Term | Source |

Two 2026 names are missing. RuPay renewed for three years in March 2024, which took it to the end of 2026, by the IPL's own advisory. My11Circle signed for five years in the same advisory and left after the online gaming law of August 2025, Hindustan Times reported. No new league sponsor for 2027 had been announced by 7 November.
2027 is also the last season of the media rights the BCCI sold in June 2022 for ₹48,390 crore. JioStar holds the TV and streaming rights after the Reliance and Disney merger, and bidding for 2028 to 2032 is expected to open in early 2027, BestMediaInfo reported.
Who sponsors each IPL team for 2027?
The lead sponsor is the brand on the front of the 2026 shirt, as each team or the trade press named it. The third column lists only deals whose announced term reaches 2027. An empty cell means nothing has been announced for 2027 yet, not that the 2026 sponsor has gone.

What has changed for 2027 so far?
Nike is back. It signed a multi-year deal with Mumbai Indians on 21 October to make the kit for the IPL and WPL teams from 2027, its first IPL kit deal in 18 years, Business Today noted. Skechers made the Mumbai kit for 2024 to 2026.
The other five team deals that reach 2027 were signed as multi-season deals before or during the 2026 season. The open market is the shirt front. Of the ten 2026 lead sponsors, only VIDA at Kolkata has a term that reaches 2027; at Bengaluru, Sun Pharma also sits on the front of the shirt on a deal to 2028. The other nine lead sponsors have no 2027 deal on record yet.
How we checked: league terms from the IPL's and BCCI's own releases, or the trade outlet named in the table where the BCCI has not stated a term. Team rows from each team's sponsor page, the brand's release or the trade press, opened on 6 November 2026. A deal counts for 2027 only if its announced term reaches 2027. See how we check.
