JioFiber plans with free IPL 2020 live streaming

In addition to the mobile plans, JioFiber plans priced Rs 849 and above come with free IPL 2020 streaming thanks to the complimentary annual subscription to Disney+ Hotstar VIP content that the plans offer. The data benefits of the Jio broadband plans range from 800GB to 15,000GB, depending on the plan price.

Disney+ Hotstar subscription prices

For those who want to stream IPL 2020 online, Disney+ Hotstar offers two plans — Premium and VIP. Disney+ Hotstar Premium price is Rs 1,499 for the whole year but users can also choose to subscribe to it on a monthly basis at Rs 299 per month. The Disney+ Hotstar VIP plan, on the other hand, costs just Rs 399 for the entire year. Both plans give users access to 7 multiplex blockbuster movies, Disney+ original content, live sports (IPL, Premier League, Formula 1, etc), Hotstar Specials, and latest episodes of Indian TV shows. However, the Premium plan also includes ad-free access to the latest US movies and shows, such as Game of Thrones, Watchmen, etc; VIP plan does not offer this.
