Where to Watch Cricket

Cricket broadcasting rights, country by country

Every competition this site follows, the broadcaster and streaming service that carries it in each of the five countries we cover, and the source behind each answer. This is the table the schedule itself is built from.

There is no single world feed for cricket. A fixture that reads India v Australia can be on three different channels in three countries, or on none at all, and which is which depends on who is hosting, which competition it is and which board sold the rights. That is why a listing that gives one channel for everybody is usually wrong for somebody.

Each answer below carries the date a person last checked it and a link to the page it rests on. Where a rule names no channel, it says so and explains why rather than leaving a blank: a missing source is better than a confident wrong answer, which is the rule this whole site is built on.

90 rules, drawing on 94 distinct sources.

What is shown in India

The largest cricket market by some distance, and the one where the answer is most fragmented: JioStar holds the international and Indian home calendar, Sony carries Pakistan's home series, and FanCode picks up a long tail that no larger broadcaster wants.

What is shown in the United States

Unusually simple for a non-cricket country: one licensee, Willow, holds ICC rights directly and carries most board cricket, so it answers a large share of the calendar on its own. The gaps are the domestic competitions it does not carry.

What is shown in the United Kingdom

Split by who is hosting rather than by competition. Sky has England's home summer and the ICC events it sells; TNT Sports bought the rights to everything played in India. Getting that split the wrong way round is the single most common error in UK cricket listings, including some printed by large outlets.

What is shown in Australia

Fox Sports and its streaming arm Kayo carry the bulk. The ICC's own events on Australian soil go to Seven and 7plus, and Prime Video took the ICC's global-event package.

What is shown in Canada

The smallest of the five markets and the thinnest, leaning on Willow Canada and ATN Cricket Plus. Rights usually follow the United States but not always, and a service that works for a US viewer is sometimes geo-blocked across the border.

What this page does not claim

A rights table is a photograph of a moving thing. Deals are renewed, lost and sub-let, and a rule that was right when it was written can quietly stop being right when a contract ends. Each answer therefore carries the date it was last verified, and rules whose deal has an end date say when that is. Where we could not confirm an answer, the row says so instead of naming a channel.

Some competitions are deliberately absent or unruled. A domestic competition carried only in its own country is not televised anywhere else, and saying so for each of its fixtures would be inventing a certainty we do not have: for those, the schedule shows no answer rather than a guess. The method behind all of this is set out on the about page.
