The confusion is finally over for Spanish football fans in India. After a turbulent start to the broadcast cycle involving technical glitches and a collapsed deal with Galaxy Racer (GXR), La Liga has officially found a stable home for the 2025-26 season.
FanCode has secured the exclusive five-year rights to broadcast the Spanish top flight in India, replacing GXR. With the title race between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona heating up, here is the definitive guide on where and how to watch every match live.
The New Broadcaster: FanCode
Unlike the English Premier League (Star Sports) or the Bundesliga (Sony Sports), La Liga has moved entirely to a digital-first model in India.
- Official App: FanCode
- TV Channel: There is NO traditional linear TV channel (like Sports18 or Sony Ten) broadcasting the matches live.
- Contract Status: FanCode’s deal runs through 2027, ensuring stability for fans tired of changing apps every season.
How to Watch on Mobile & Laptop
Viewing on personal devices is the most direct method.
- Download: Get the FanCode App (iOS/Android).
- Website: Visit

- Match Pass: Watch a single game for approx ₹25.
- La Liga Season Pass: A dedicated pass for all La Liga matches (prices vary, typically ~₹999/year).
- Unlimited Live Stream Pass: Monthly access to all sports on the platform (~₹199/month).
How to Watch on TV (The Workaround)
Since there is no cable channel, you must use “Connected TV” options to watch on the big screen.
- Smart TV Apps: Download the FanCode app directly on Fire TV Stick, Android TV, Samsung TV, or JioStb.
- Tata Play Binge: If you have a Tata Play Binge subscription, FanCode content is included and can be accessed via the Binge app on your mobile or Fire Stick.
- Prime Video Channels: Amazon Prime members can subscribe to FanCode as an add-on channel directly within the Prime Video interface.
What Happened to GXR (Galaxy Racer)?
Fans may remember that GXR initially announced a massive 15-year deal to broadcast La Liga for “free.” However, that deal was terminated in mid-2025 due to severe technical failures and payment disputes. The “free-to-air” experiment has ended, and the league has returned to a paid (but affordable) streaming model with FanCode.
Matchday Experience
FanCode’s coverage includes official La Liga English commentary. While it lacks the pre-match studio shows typical of Star Sports, it offers reliable, HD streaming without the buffering issues that plagued the previous broadcaster.
