The situation began after the Pahalgam attack on April 22, which India blamed Pakistan for without evidence.
Pakistan Suspends IPL 2025 Streaming After PSL Ban in India. In recent days, sports fans across Pakistan have found themselves caught in the crossfire of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. After India decided to ban all things Pakistan-related content, including the Pakistan Super League (PSL) stream in India, Tapmad, the official streaming partner for the Indian Premier League (IPL) in Pakistan, has stopped showing IPL matches.
The situation began after the Pahalgam attack on April 22, which India blamed Pakistan for without evidence. In response, Indian broadcasters—including Sony Sports Network, Fancode, and Cricbuzz— suspended all coverage of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 within India.
Despite these developments, Pakistani cricket fans were still able to watch the Indian Premier League (IPL) through Tapmad, the country’s official IPL streaming partner. The platform continued to provide live coverage and updates, including high-profile matches such as the CSK vs SRH clash, much to the relief of local viewers.
However, the situation changed rapidly. Amid growing public sentiment and calls for a reciprocal response, Tapmad announced on Saturday that it would stop streaming IPL matches in Pakistan. This move came just a day after Indian broadcasters had pulled out of PSL coverage, signaling a clear tit-for-tat approach.
Tapmad’s decision is seen as a symbolic gesture, reflecting the broader trend of both countries scaling back cultural and sporting exchanges in the wake of the Pahalgam attack. For now, Pakistani fans will have to go without live IPL action, as the region’s political and security climate continues to impact even the world of sports.
