CHENNAIYIN FC have secured the Indian Super Gaming League (ISGL), India’s franchise-based esports league, as their principal sponsor for the 2026 Indian Super League season.
Under the agreement, ISGL will serve as the club’s front-of-shirt partner, with its logo featured on matchday jerseys and training kits throughout the campaign. The partnership will also provide ISGL with prominent visibility across the club’s digital platforms and at the Marina Arena during home fixtures.
In addition, ISGL will gain access to the club’s logo and player image rights, along with player engagement opportunities and key media-facing inventory as part of the collaboration.
Chennaiyin FC COO Akhil Prakash said, “We are delighted to welcome the Indian Super Gaming League (IGSL) as the Principal Sponsor of Chennaiyin FC for the ISL 2026 season. This partnership is a natural fit for us. Our fan base is young, dynamic and constantly seeking new experiences — and gaming today sits at the heart of youth culture. Through this collaboration, we aim to create deeper engagement opportunities that connect football and gaming in meaningful ways, bringing our community even closer to the club. We look forward to building something exciting together this season.”
ISGL’s parent organisation LetsGameNow co-founder Gautam Badalia added, “At ISGL, our mission has always been to identify, nurture, and provide a platform for young talent to shine. Partnering with Chennaiyin FC as Principal Sponsor is a natural extension of that vision.
