How to Watch NPL 2026 Live: TV, NETTV App and eSewa Pass Guide
Himalaya TV, NETTV and Star Sports: where to watch NPL 2026 in Nepal and abroad, what the pass costs, and the eSewa coupon step people miss.
Last updated:
Every season the same question pops up in group chats: where can I actually watch this? For NPL 2026 the answer has changed from last year, so here is the simple version.
In Nepal, on TV
Himalaya Sports is showing the games on television. If you cannot find it, ask your cable or IPTV provider whether it is in your package. The Rising Nepal reported the rights deal, and it also makes clear the DishHome and Kantipur arrangement was for last season. So old guides are not wrong, just out of date.
In Nepal, on your phone
NETTV is the official streaming partner. Their NPL page shows the Season 3 pass at NPR 400. If you already have NETTV, you still need to buy the NPL pass separately. If you do not, you can make an account and buy just the NPL pass.
Abroad
NETTV's page lists US$4 for the Middle East and US$10 for most of the rest of the world, with Europe, Australia, the USA, Japan and Korea mentioned. India is excluded from that package. Star Sports has been named for international TV, so in India check your local channel guide. CAN secretary Paras Khadka named all three platforms when he asked fans to avoid pirated streams.
Buying through eSewa
You can also buy a coupon in eSewa. Their guide lists NPR 400 for Nepal, NPR 600 for the Middle East and NPR 1,550.17 for the USA, Europe, Australia, Japan and Korea.
This is the bit people miss: after paying in eSewa you get a coupon code, and you still have to apply it inside NETTV's NPL section. Once the code works, the price should show NPR 0. Confirm that and you are in. If it still shows full price, stop and check the code before paying twice.
The eSewa coupon is for the NETTV app on your phone, not smart TVs or set-top boxes, and it only works in the country you bought it for. It covers all 32 matches but is not refundable. If you want to watch on a big screen, check before you buy.
Skip the "free live stream" links
Those sketchy sites and random APKs are how people lose wallet passwords. Stick to the official options. Highlights on official social accounts are fine, full pirated matches are not.
Sort it before the first ball
Buy and test your pass the day before. Trying to redeem a coupon during the first over is nobody's idea of fun. For a shorter summary, see our where to watch page, and check today's match for times.
