Hello Coolz readers! SonyLIV is where you watch Scam 1992, Scam 2003, Gullak, Panchayat-style originals, Sony Sports cricket and more. The old tricks (Paytm points, TimesPrime, IndusInd account, Vi Rs 82 pack) have expired, so we rebuilt this article. Below you will find only methods that are live now or are regular telecom bundles, and we clearly say when an offer depends on your circle, plan or account.
India vs New Zealand 2026: How to Watch on SonyLIV
India’s tour of New Zealand starts today with the first T20I at 12:30 PM IST. Reports say the series is on the Sony Sports Network on TV and on SonyLIV in the app and on the website. One report we checked named another broadcaster, so open SonyLIV and confirm the match is listed before you pay.

1. Free SonyLIV with Airtel
Easiest Airtel gives SonyLIV through Xstream Play. The app Airtel Thanks has a live TV tab where you can open SonyLIV channels. Airtel also sells Xstream Play Premium, which includes SonyLIV with about 19 other OTT apps. In a Summer OTT sale it was listed at Rs 99 a month instead of the usual Rs 149. There is also a Rs 279 combo pack that includes Xstream Play Premium along with Netflix Basic, JioHotstar and ZEE5, with 1 GB of data.
How to use it
- Open the Airtel Thanks app and log in with your Airtel number.
- Open Airtel Xstream services.
- Go to the Live TV tab to watch SonyLIV content.
- Check the Rewards section for a SonyLIV voucher. If you see one, tap Claim Now and use the code on SonyLIV.
- To get the full catalogue, buy Xstream Play Premium from the Thanks app or the Xstream Play website.
2. Free SonyLIV with Jio
Jio mobile
Jio has had a prepaid plan of Rs 1049 (2 GB a day, 84 days) that gives SonyLIV and ZEE5 only through the JioTV app. You cannot log in to the SonyLIV app with it. Plans change often, so open MyJio and check the OTT benefits on the plan before you recharge.
JioHome (JioFiber and AirFiber)
Jio says SonyLIV is bundled free with eligible JioHome broadband plans, along with 13+ other apps. Plans start from about Rs 599, and the Rs 999 and higher plans give automatic login. Per Jio, JioHome 399 and 699 are not eligible for bundled OTT. So if you have a broadband connection, check the OTT section on the Jio page.

3. Free SonyLIV with Vi (Vodafone Idea)
In April 2026 Vi moved some circles to Hero plans that include SonyLIV:
| Plan | Data | Validity | SonyLIV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rs 795 | 3 GB/day | 56 days | Vi Movies and TV Super, 60 days |
| Rs 979 | 2 GB/day | 84 days | Vi Movies and TV Super, 84 days |
| Rs 998 | 2 GB/day | 84 days | SonyLIV for 84 days |
These plans are circle-specific. Open the Vi app and see whether they show on your number. Some other sites list Rs 95, Rs 408 or Rs 449 Vi plans with SonyLIV, but we could not confirm them, so we did not list them.
4. LIV Free: Watch Without Paying
SonyLIV has a LIV Free tab with a small set of free titles. No card is needed. Live sports like the India vs New Zealand matches and most originals are not in it, so it is for light watching only.
The official LIV Free page currently shows titles such as Maanaadu, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Indian Idol clips, Shark Tank India, The Kapil Sharma Show and best of KBC episodes. The list changes, and sign-in may be asked for some titles.
- Tap the button above, or open SonyLIV (app or website) and go to the LIV Free tab.
- Pick a title marked free.
- Sign in with your mobile number if asked.
5. Credit Card and Device Offers
- Axis Bank My Zone credit card: reported to include one free year of LIV Premium.
- HDFC SmartBuy and ICICI Bank: sometimes up to 25% off on SonyLIV plans.
- Xiaomi / Mi phones: some eligible devices have shown a 3-month SonyLIV Premium trial in the SonyLIV VIP section.
- Flipkart SuperCoins and TimesPrime: these have given SonyLIV vouchers in the past. Check your Flipkart rewards page, but do not rely on them.
6. SonyLIV Gift Cards and Coupons
You can buy a SonyLIV gift card from gift card stores and activate it on SonyLIV. Stores such as Amazon and Woohoo run discounts from time to time, and a promo code box appears on the SonyLIV plan page at checkout. The old codes we listed earlier (like SONYLIV20) are not confirmed as working now, so we removed them. Check the discount before you pay, and compare it with the plan price above.
7. SonyLIV Free Trial
If SonyLIV shows a free trial on a pack, you pay about Rs 1 to verify your payment method and enjoy the trial. The full price is charged when the trial ends, so cancel before that if you do not want to continue. The trial does not show if you already have or had a subscription, have used a trial on the same account or device, or it is not offered right now.
How to Activate a SonyLIV Coupon or Voucher
- Open sonyliv.com/activate_offer in a browser (not in the app).
- Sign in with your mobile number.
- Create or select your profile.
- Enter your coupon code and confirm.
What Changed in This Update
We removed old methods that are no longer working or that we could not check: the Bajaj Finserv Feb 2025 offer, Paytm cashback points (18,500 points), the TimesPrime and IndusInd account trick, the Vi Rs 82 and Rs 100 add-ons, the old Airtel Rs 148 to Rs 839 table, and old Woohoo and Paisawapas coupons. We will add working offers here as soon as we find them.
