Is NPL Season 3 on Kantipur Max?

Kantipur Max does not hold NPL Season 3 rights. The confirmed ways to watch NPL Season 3 are NetTV (worldwide OTT) and Himalaya Television (Nepal TV) — this page sets out what that means for Kantipur Max viewers, what Season 2 coverage does and does not establish, and what to check before subscribing.

Season 2 coverage on Kantipur Max is historical and does not carry into Season 3. Before you pay for any subscription, check the confirmed rights, the TV options inside Nepal, and the free and legal ways to catch up — all covered below.

Confirmed 2026 rights

No. Kantipur Max does not hold NPL Season 3 rights. The confirmed ways to watch are NetTV (worldwide OTT) and Himalaya Television (Nepal TV) — see the streaming.

• Worldwide OTT rights: NetTV.
• Linear television in Nepal: Himalaya Television Network.
• Ticketing rights: eSewa.

The rights awards do not establish consumer pass prices, free access, ticket sale dates or a final channel schedule. Check the rights holder’s event listing before paying.

Season 3 update (October 2026)

The NPL Season 3 where-to-watch hub has been upgraded with the full Season 3 guide: NetTV's worldwide OTT pass, Himalaya Television's Nepal TV coverage, country-by-country match times, device guides and the daily watch pages as they publish.

Season 2 coverage is historical

DishHome GO and Kantipur coverage associated with the previous edition must not be advertised as confirmed NPL 2026 access. NetTV and Himalaya Television hold the rights described in the September 7 announcements.

Before subscribing

• Confirm that the product explicitly includes Nepal Premier League Season 3.
• Check access for your country, supported devices and simultaneous-stream limits.
• Review the actual pass price, renewal terms and refund policy on the provider’s listing.
• Confirm the match time using the final fixture list.

Tournament dates

Nepal Premier League Season 3 is scheduled for October 26–November 21, 2026 with Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur reported as the likely venue. The dated announcement confirms the tournament window; individual pairings, start times and final venue allocation require the fixture list.

Kantipur Max and NPL: the history

Kantipur Max was associated with NPL broadcast coverage in earlier editions, which is why the question comes up every season. For Season 3, the confirmed rights picture is different: the September 2026 announcements name NetTV as the worldwide OTT rights holder and the Himalaya Television Network for linear television in Nepal.

That means Kantipur Max is not a confirmed Season 3 broadcaster. Earlier carriage does not carry over automatically when rights are re-awarded.

What to check before the tournament

• Watch Kantipur's own announcements for any confirmed NPL Season 3 role before 26 October 2026.
• Do not assume coverage from old Season 2 schedules or highlight reels still circulating online.
• The confirmed options are NetTV's app and web platform for streaming and the Himalaya Television Network for television in Nepal. See the how-to-watch and the Season 3 schedule (day games 12:30 PM NST, evening games 5:00 PM NST).

This page will be updated if Kantipur announces any confirmed Season 3 role.

TV options inside Nepal

The Himalaya Television Network holds the linear television rights for NPL Season 3 in Nepal under the September 2026 rights announcements. Match coverage, studio programming and the daily schedule are set by the broadcaster — check its own listings on match days rather than relying on second-hand schedules.

DishHome GO and Kantipur Max carried NPL coverage in earlier editions. That history does not make them confirmed Season 3 broadcasters. If you subscribe to either service, confirm NPL Season 3 carriage in the provider's own channel list before the tournament begins.

Free and legal ways to catch up

There is no confirmed free live stream for NPL Season 3. The legitimate free material is what appears after matches: official highlights, post-match interviews and condensed replays, which the rights holders publish first on their own digital channels — NetTV's app and web platform, and Himalaya Television's broadcast and online outlets. The league and the eight franchises also publish clips on their verified social channels during the tournament.

Treat any site promising a free live stream of NPL 2026 as suspect. Unofficial streams are usually piracy, often carry malware or phishing, and disappear mid-match. The live scores page is the free, reliable way to follow every ball without a subscription.

Before you pay for a subscription

• Check the provider's own event listing for NPL Season 3 — not a reseller or a fan page.
• Confirm the price and billing period in your currency before entering payment details.
• Check device support — app, web, smart TV — and whether the pass covers all 32 fixtures or only selected matches.
• Note the match timings: day fixtures start 12:30 PM NST and evening fixtures 5:00 PM NST. Convert to your timezone before buying a day pass.

The rights awards name the rights holders; they do not guarantee prices, free trials or refund terms. See the full how-to-watch and the Season 3 schedule.

Conclusion

Kantipur Max does not hold Season 3 rights: the September awards gave worldwide streaming to NetTV and Nepal television to Himalaya Television. Kantipur viewers watch through NetTV’s pass or Himalaya Sports on TV instead. Season 2 coverage on Kantipur Max is historical now, not a Season 3 route.
