The English Premier League has announced the opening of an office in India. 

Based in Mumbai, the new office will build on the Premier League's longstanding work to engage local fans and partners and promote football in India, while supporting the continued growth of the League and its clubs.

The League has been working closely with the Indian Super League (ISL) since 2014, which has seen the Premier League share knowledge and expertise across all areas of the game, including governance, youth, coach and referee development. 

The Premier League India office will further underpin the League's commitment to supporting the development of football across India at both elite and grassroots levels through strengthened collaboration with football authorities and governing bodies. 

The office will also focus on creating more ways to engage directly with fans in the region through events and partnership activities, working closely with the League's longstanding broadcast partner JioStar.

In 2019, the Premier League opened its first international office in Singapore, primarily established to fight piracy of Premier League content and support broadcast partners.

In July 2023, the League opened its office in New York to continue to develop fan engagement opportunities in the United States, working closely with its longstanding broadcast partner NBC Sports. 

In October 2024, the Premier League announced the opening of an office in Beijing to continue to build on the work in the region to engage fans and partners and support the development of the game locally.

Richard Masters, chief executive, Premier League, said, "We and our clubs have a fantastic and knowledgeable fanbase in India, and we know football continues to grow in popularity. We are proud of our longstanding commitment to India, having worked to deliver community football programmes for 18 years and, more recently, our partnership with the Indian Super League. Opening this office marks a significant milestone for the Premier League. It will allow us to operate more effectively locally as we build on our existing work to establish more ways to strengthen our relationship with fans, JioStar and other partners. We are looking forward to the opportunities it will create in the region."
