Media rights generate huge incomeBCCI sold media rights (TV and digital rights) for the 2023-27 season for Rs 48,390 crore.

According to a report published in the Economic Times, 40-50 percent of this amount is distributed among all 10 franchises of the Indian Premier League. According to the report, in the year 2023, each team received an average of Rs 467 crore.
Sponsors are also a source of income
IPL team owners also earn a lot of money from sponsorship deals. IPL teams get crores of rupees for the companies whose logos are printed on the team's jerseys and kits. According to reports, the earnings of very popular teams like CSK and RCB from sponsors can go up to 100 crores.
Apart from this, whenever a team is playing on its home ground, the franchise has an 80 percent share in the revenue from tickets. According to reports, RCB and Punjab Kings reached the final of IPL 2025, due to which their earnings from tickets can be more than 50 crores. RCB got a prize money of 20 crores for becoming the champion, while the runner-up Punjab got Rs 13 crore.
Merchandise salesVery popular teams like Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians earn a lot from the sale of merchandise. When a fan buys the team's jersey, cap or any other item, the income from it goes to the franchise. According to media reports, merchandise sales can reach $30 billion in 2025. This also increases the brand value of the teams.
