The extension builds on Dream11 and the NBA’s tie-up that began in the 2017-18 season with the launch of the league’s first official fantasy game in India.

As part of the new deal, fans in India can compete daily in a variety of public and private NBA and WNBA-themed fantasy games.

Simulating the role of a general manager, fans can construct a virtual team of NBA or WNBA players and accumulate points based on the players’ real-life on-court performances.

Rajah Chaudhry, NBA India country head, said: “With India being one of the fastest growing markets in the world for fantasy gaming, bolstering our presence in this space has been a key focus for us over the last few years.
