Where to Watch the Europa League in India - 2024/25 Season
The UEFA Europa League has found a passionate new home among Indian football fans - Thursday nights bring some of European football's most dramatic moments, and with India's love affair with the beautiful game growing stronger every year, the competition is must-watch television. Sevilla's seven-title dynasty is the stuff of legend, but the tournament's real appeal lies in its unpredictability - any club can rise from nowhere and conquer Europe on a Thursday night. Indian fans who follow Premier League clubs in the Europa League have plenty to cheer for in 2024/25.

Europa League broadcasting rights in India
Sony Sports Network and SonyLIV hold the UEFA Europa League rights in India, providing comprehensive coverage of all 189 league-phase matches and the knockout rounds through the 2024–27 cycle. The new 36-team league format means significantly more Thursday-night football compared to the old group stage, giving Indian fans a packed European football calendar from September through January.
Kick-off times in India are favorable for evening viewing: the main 21:00 CET slot translates to 01:30 IST (past midnight) during European Summer Time and 02:30 IST in winter - making late-night viewing sessions a Europa League tradition for dedicated Indian fans. The earlier 18:45 CET kick-offs arrive at 23:15 IST or 00:15 IST respectively. SonyLIV's catch-up feature is invaluable for those who prefer to watch the next morning.
Indian football fandom has grown enormously in the past decade, with the Premier League particularly popular. Europa League coverage on Sony Sports brings that same passion to Thursday nights, with clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Tottenham regularly competing in the tournament. The final in May is broadcast live, making it one of the most-watched football events of the Indian sporting calendar.
