FanCode cricket — CPL, women's cricket & domestic tours guide

FanCode is the niche pay-per-tour cricket destination — typically Rs. 99–299 per series, lower commitment than a full JioHotstar or Sony LIV annual, useful for the cricket JioHotstar and Sony don't carry.

FanCode is the niche pay-per-tour cricket destination for the Indian market — it picks up the tours JioHotstar and Sony Sports don’t carry, plus the women’s bilateral cricket, India A tours, and overseas domestic leagues. The pricing model is pay-per-tour rather than flat subscription, which makes it useful for viewers who want one specific series without committing to a full annual.

For a complete India-side cricket setup, FanCode is the third subscription after JioHotstar + Sony LIV — covering the CPL knockouts, women’s tours and the Major League Cricket USA window.

Where to watch in India legally

Streaming only — FanCode app and web. No TV channel; FanCode is digital-native. Available on Android, iOS, web and most smart-TV platforms.

How to subscribe

  1. For one-off tours, buy the per-tour pass at ₹99–299 — useful if you only want, say, the Sri Lanka tour of Australia or the CPL knockouts.
  2. For year-round viewers, FanCode Pro annual at ₹999 is the better rate, especially if you also use FanCode for fantasy or stat tools.
  3. Stack with JioHotstar + Sony LIV for the complete India-side cricket subscription set — together usually under ₹3,500 a year on annual promotional pricing.

Frequently asked questions

What does FanCode cost?
Pay-per-tour pricing, typically ₹99–299 per series for a single tour pass, or ₹999/year for the FanCode Pro annual that covers most tours plus stat tools, fantasy and the Cricbuzz-style live-scoring layer. FanCode does not have a flat monthly subscription like JioHotstar or Sony LIV — each tour is priced separately.
Which cricket properties does FanCode carry?
CPL (sub-licensed from Star Sports), Sri Lanka domestic cricket, Bangladesh Premier League selected matches, women’s bilateral tours, India A tours, county cricket (England) selected matches, and the Caribbean Premier League knockouts. FanCode also carries the Major League Cricket (MLC) USA league. Does NOT carry: IPL, ICC events, India men’s bilateral series, PSL, BBL — those go to JioHotstar or Sony.
Is FanCode free?
Some content yes, headline tours no. FanCode has a free tier with live scores, statistics, fantasy and selected free match windows during promotions. Every paid tour requires the per-tour pass or FanCode Pro annual. The Cricbuzz-style live-scoring layer is free across all matches.
