Indian bettors focus on a mix of international and regional competitions. These tournaments offer the widest range of markets and the most frequent match schedules.
International Competitions
The FIFA World Cup is the most-watched event globally. It occurs every four years and features 32 national teams competing across a month-long tournament. Betting markets include match outcomes, top scorers, and stage-by-stage winners.
The UEFA Champions League runs annually from September to May. Europe’s top clubs compete in group stages and knockout rounds. Markets cover match results, total goals, handicaps, and player-specific bets like first goalscorer.
The UEFA Europa League follows a similar format but features teams that finished lower in their domestic leagues. It offers high-scoring matches and competitive odds.
Copa Libertadores is South America’s premier club competition. Argentine and Brazilian clubs dominate, and matches often have high goal totals, making over/under markets popular.
Domestic and Regional Leagues
The English Premier League is the most popular domestic league among Indian users. Matches take place from August to May, providing year-round betting opportunities. Markets include match winner, both teams to score, and corner totals.
La Liga (Spain), Serie A (Italy), and Bundesliga (Germany) also attract significant betting volume. These leagues feature top clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Bayern Munich.
Indian Super League (ISL) has grown in popularity domestically. It runs from November to March and includes teams from major Indian cities. Betting markets are similar to international leagues but with adjusted odds reflecting lower goal averages.
