New Delhi, Delhi, India | 16th August 2025: For decades, India has watched international wrestling events dominate the spotlight. Now, the tables are turning — India is not just watching; it’s creating, leading, and setting the stage for a historic sporting revolution.
AdiGroupe and its sports innovation division, AEx SPORT, in partnership with Prasar Bharati, proudly present the Global League Wrestling (GLW) — India’s first-ever global-format professional wrestling league, designed on home soil but built to entertain audiences worldwide.
A Landmark in Indian Sports Entertainment
The highly anticipated league will debut on 17th September 2025 with a thrilling 40-week season. Fans can catch the action on DD Sports, Waves OTT, and All India Radio starting 4th October 2025. The combined reach of these platforms is expected to surpass 1 billion viewers, making GLW one of the most ambitious and far-reaching sports entertainment projects ever launched in India.
The Energy of India Meets the Spirit of the World
GLW blends the high-intensity action of professional wrestling with India’s rich tradition of storytelling. Viewers can expect electrifying rivalries, inspiring underdog tales, and emotionally charged battles — each match designed to captivate audiences from Mumbai to New York.
At the forefront of this movement is The Great Khali, serving as Brand Ambassador and Talent Commissioner. He will mentor emerging Indian wrestling talent, preparing them to shine on the global stage.
A Gift to the Nation
“GLW is India’s statement to the world — proof that we have the vision, talent, and capability to deliver world-class sports entertainment,” said Sanjay Viswanathan, Chairman of AdiGroupe, AEx SPORT, and GLW. “This is a platform for Indian athletes to compete internationally and for our stories to resonate far beyond our borders. It’s a gift to Bharat and a celebration of our youth’s determination.”
Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO of Prasar Bharati, added, “GLW is unlike anything Indian audiences have seen — the discipline and drama of professional wrestling infused with the cultural soul of India. Through our vast broadcasting network, we will take it to every home and every heart.”
Making History in the Ring
With GLW, India isn’t merely joining the global wrestling scene — it’s entering with the force of a billion dreams. From hometown heroes to international icons, from packed stadiums to TV screens, this league promises to inspire, unite, and showcase India’s excellence to the world.
📅 Save the Date: 17th September 2025 marks India’s official entry into the global wrestling spotlight — not as a challenger, but as a champion.
