Laliga partners with NewJ to launch ‘Laliga India Show’

Delhi: Laliga has launched its first video podcast in India, named the Laliga India Show, produced and hosted by NewJ. 

Set to be launched in English, Marathi, Kannada, and Bengali vernaculars, the viewing experience shall aim to provide fans an opportunity to immerse themselves in the league through a fan-led format, regional vernacular content, spotlighting moments, match day analysis, fan Interactions, and more.

In India the league is exclusively broadcasted live on Sports18-1, Sports18-1 HD, Sports18-3, and streamed on JioCinema. The ancillary content with NewsJ aims to provide for additional regional connect and fan engagement.

Speaking about the development, Aakriti Vohra, Laliga India Delegate, said, “We are thrilled to bring this format of the league to light, and alongside Viacom18, we continue to chart new territories for the brand. The launch of the ‘Laliga India Show’ provides us a unique platform to further connect with our passionate fans in India. The show’s immersive experience and light-hearted commentary will ensure fans are thoroughly engaged and wanting more!"

Kunal Chaudhary, Co-Founder of NewJ, remarked, “Laliga' is monumental; it's always eagerly anticipated by fans across the globe. While football is one of the most beloved and popular sports there is, there's still a notable lack of homegrown sports content. It will be very interesting to see how the 'Laliga India Show' is received by its audience, especially in vernacular regions. With more initiatives like this, we can expect the sport to become even more popular and loved.”
