The Champions Trophy is just four days away! By now, you should have decided whether you’ll be watching the games live at the stadium or from the comfort of your home or office. If you choose to watch it on-screen instead of going to the stadium, you might be wondering where to catch the action. The ICC has shared detailed broadcast plans for the tournament.
If you’re in Bangladesh, you can watch the games at three places: T-Sports, Nagorik Television, and the Toffee app. Ads have been running on the TV channels for a while now, and you’ll also find Champions Trophy ads on the Toffee app.
In India, the games will be available digitally on JioStar. For TV broadcasts, you can tune in to Star and Network 18 channels. Additionally, ICC.tv will broadcast the games in more than 80 regions worldwide. In Pakistan, PTV and Ten Sports will handle the broadcasts, and online viewers can watch through the Miko and Tamasha apps.
ICC itself is also providing broadcasting. You can catch free audio broadcasts of each match on ICC’s Match Centre. Additionally, live ball-by-ball commentary will be available on icc-cricket.com. The ICC will also offer live radio broadcasts via their website and app, accessible for free worldwide.
The Champions Trophy will be the first ICC tournament to be broadcast in 16 digital platforms with 9 languages—English, Hindi, Marathi, Haryanvi, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.
The first match of the tournament on February 19 will feature the defending champions, Pakistan, facing New Zealand.
