Mumbai, March 25, 2026: 11Sports Pvt. Ltd. has ended its franchise agreement with World Of Krida, with immediate effect. World Of Krida owned and ran the Jaipur Patriots team. The decision follows repeated breaches of contract terms. It also follows continued payment defaults owed to 11Sports.

11Sports said the franchise operator did not meet agreed obligations. These included key contractual and financial duties under the signed agreement. The company stated these issues continued over several months. Payment delays and other breaches were not corrected. World Of Krida failed to honour commitments despite clear timelines.

League governance and stability at centre of move

The rights holder said it had offered many chances to comply. 11Sports engaged in talks with the Jaipur Patriots owners. It gave extra time to fix defaults and breaches. However, no effective remedial action was taken. 11Sports therefore, used its contractual rights to end the franchise.

Following the termination, Jaipur Patriots will not play further in UTT. The exit is effective from the date of the announcement. 11Sports said the step aims to protect league governance. It also aims to maintain financial discipline and long-term league stability.

Key details of the franchise change

The main entities and roles are set out below:

Replacement franchise from Season 7

11Sports said it remains committed to transparency across all franchises. It also pledged to protect players and other stakeholders. The process to induct a new franchise has already begun. The replacement team will join the Ultimate Table Tennis league from Season 7. Further details will be shared later.
