Another interesting insight that showcases the increasing fandom of La Liga on MTV in India is the fact that 38% of viewership for the matches came in from Rural India, with over 51% viewership from urban cities.

Speaking about the new season, Jose Antonio Cachaza, Managing Director – India, LaLiga, said, “The past year showed us the kind of emotional connection football fans have with the beautiful game. As the world slowly starts to heal and go back to normal, the new season of LaLiga returns, with the fans finally reuniting with their favourite sport. The energy is in the air, especially in India, with this new partnership with Viacom18.
