Star India has renewed its exclusive broadcast rights for the English Premier League for the next three seasons from 2016-17 to 2018-19.

With this renewal, Star India will continue to broadcast Premier League matches on a live or delayed basis across India on the Star Sports channels, as well as stream all matches on its digital platforms, Hotstar and starsports.com.

England’s Premier League is the most successful and viewed football league in the world, with millions of fans in India. We have been broadcasting Premier League football for the last 15 years, and this renewal reaffirms our faith in the strength of the competition as the best international football property.

Bad news. It means they will continue messing up the EPL broadcast for another 3 years. I really wanted Sony to aggressively bid for these rights. But I'm disappointed now :(

why bro? EPL is the most competitive league across Europe. While other leagues are dominated by 1 or 2 teams alone, we have a team like Leicester which got promoted last year at the top. And there are atleast 10 teams in EPL which are good enough to win the league.
