In a major milestone for sports streaming in India, the subscription-free OTT platform VETO has officially secured the exclusive OTT streaming rights for the upcoming Davis Cup 2026. VETO aims to bring live coverage directly to households across the nation, establishing itself as a trusted platform designed to offer families a seamless shared viewing experience on large screens.
Expanding as a Comprehensive Platform for Families
The entry of VETO into live sports highlights how the digital streaming ecosystem is evolving to meet modern viewer demands. Today's audiences look for platforms that offer more than just on-demand content, seeking out live events that families can enjoy together to build deeper engagement. By combining live sports alongside news, movies, music, entertainment, devotion, and children's programming, VETO is shaping up to be an all-encompassing daily viewing destination for Indian households.
A Strong Momentum of Recent Wins
India's journey in the tournament has been backed by remarkable outcomes on the court. The national team defeated Switzerland 3-1 in September 2025, marking the country's first Davis Cup victory on European soil since 1993. Following this success, India triumphed over the 2024 finalists and world number six team Netherlands with a 3-2 scoreline in Bengaluru this February. These results propelled India into the second round of the qualifiers, securing three consecutive Davis Cup match wins for the first time since the 2013-14 season.
Facing South Korea and Chasing the Championship Dream
The Indian squad is now preparing to face South Korea during the second round of the Davis Cup qualifiers scheduled for September 18-20, with the winning side advancing to the finals in November. Securing a victory would place India among the elite final stage of eight teams, keeping alive the historic dream of lifting the nation's first-ever Davis Cup title after finishing as runners-up in 1966, 1974, and 1987. VETO will stream these matches live while delivering comprehensive coverage throughout the tournament.
Leadership Perspective on the Milestone
Expressing her thoughts on this development, VETO Managing Director Ritu Dhawan stated, "Davis Cup is the World Cup of tennis and bringing its crucial phase to Indian audiences is a major achievement for VETO."
