Is the NPL live on YouTube?
Not as an official platform. The first season in 2024 was free on YouTube; from 2025 live coverage moved to paid streaming, and for 2026 NetTV holds exclusive worldwide streaming rights. A "NPL live" video on YouTube or Facebook showing full matches does not come from the announced rights holders.
Unofficial streams come with pop-up ads, fake "update your player" downloads and betting banners from unknown sites. We do not link to them. Rs 400 for 32 matches works out at Rs 12.50 a match.
