Major League Baseball (MLB) has partnered with RISE Worldwide Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliance Industries, to develop baseball in India. The partnership will cover marketing, social media, commercial initiatives, and a live event in Mumbai scheduled for October 2026. RISE Worldwide, which manages major sports properties like the Indian Super League and Tata Open Maharashtra, will help introduce baseball to Indian audiences through grassroots programs and fan experiences. This aligns with MLB's international expansion strategy, as the league has been operating in India since 2019 through programs like MLB First Pitch in schools and the MLB Cup youth competitions.
The partnership strengthens Reliance's sports and entertainment portfolio through association with a globally recognized brand, though financial terms were not disclosed. This is a positive brand-building move for RIL but does not have immediate material impact on financials.
