Managed by JioStar Creative Works, JioStar’s central branded content and creative solutions division, the association will bring the league live to audiences across India on JioHotstar for the first time.

The partnership marks another milestone in the league's journey to give human-pyramid professional sport beyond its festival roots and into a structured sporting environment. Over the past three seasons, the Pro Govinda League has introduced a professional competition format, brought together thousands of Govinda , and steadily expanded its audience across television and digital platforms.
