You can livestream IPL 2020 on these apps if you don’t have Disney Plus Hotstar subscription
Wondering how you can watch IPL 2020 online without Disney Plus Hotstar subscription? We’re here to answer just that. The 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is all set to begin tonight. As you may know, the venue of this year’s IPL has been shifted to UAE, which means millions of cricket fans will be hooked to Star Sports or its online streaming service Disney Plus Hotstar to catch the action live. The latter holds the exclusive digital rights of IPL 2020, but it comes with a paywall that restricts the content to only paying subscribers. However, there is a workaround to watch IPL 2020 online free if you don’t have a Disney Plus Hotstar subscription yet. Here’s how you can live-stream IPL matches without a Hotstar subscription.
IPL 2020 on Disney Plus Hotstar
Disney Plus Hotstar is the sole streaming platform for IPL 2020 matches. However, access is limited to only paid subscribers. You need to have either Disney Plus Hotstar VIP or Disney Plus Hotstar Premium subscription to live stream the matches. For anyone not subscribed to Disney Plus Hotstar, the online IPL 2020 live streaming will be limited to just 5 minutes.
| DISNEY PLUS HOTSTAR PLANS | PRICE | VALIDITY |
| Disney Plus Hotstar VIP | Rs 399 | 365 days |
| Disney Plus Hotstar Premium (monthly payment) | Rs 299 | 30 days |
| Disney Plus Hotstar Premium (annual payment) | Rs 1,499 | 365 days |
The Disney Plus Hotstar VIP subscription price is Rs 399 for the entire year, while the ‘Premium’ plan costs Rs 1,499 for a year (but users can also choose to subscribe to it on a monthly basis at Rs 299 per month as well). Both plans include live coverage of sports such as IPL, Premier League, Formula 1, etc, along with 7 multiplex blockbuster movies, Disney Plus original content, Hotstar Specials, and latest episodes of Indian TV shows. The Premium plan also includes access to all Disney titles in the original language and shows from HBO and Showtime.
