Mumbai, 01 October, 2026: The Premier League is set to bring a first-of-its-kind fan experience to Mumbai in October at GamingCon Bharat, India’s premier gaming festival, offering gaming and entertainment enthusiasts a new way to experience the excitement of the League.
Taking place on 17 and 18 October at Hall 3, Bombay Exhibition Centre, NESCO, Mumbai, the two-day event will bring together more than 20,000 attendees across gaming, esports and entertainment communities.
Featuring a dedicated Premier League Zone, the experience will offer fans bespoke access and engagement with the world’s leading football league.

Supported by JioStar, the League’s official broadcast partner in India, the viewing parties will recreate the atmosphere and shared experience of watching a game together.
Fans can access the viewing parties through the PL Pass, available to purchase online through the District App or at link. The first 1,000 pass holders will also receive an exclusive Premier League goodie bag, in addition to entry to GamingCon Bharat and the viewing parties.
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.”
