[FP1997]

Sky Sports has announced a new long-term deal with the ICC meaning the broadcaster will continue to show the biggest events in international cricket for years to come.

Beginning in 2024, the partnership will see Sky and NOW retain the ICC Broadcast and Digital rights to show all men’s and women’s events at the pinnacle of the sport, including the ICC Cricket World Cups and ICC T20 World Cups through to the end of 2031.

Following Sky's new agreement with the ECB announced last year until the end of 2028, the new deal – licensed directly between the broadcaster and the ICC for the first time – reaffirms Sky as the long-term home of cricket in the UK and Ireland, broadcasting 28 international events between 2024 and 2031 across men’s, women’s and u19 cricket.

Jonathan Licht, MD, Sky Sports, said: “With more people watching cricket at the highest-level after England men’s and women’s successes in 2017, 2019 and 2022, our award-winning coverage strives to give cricket fans the complete experience, with all the action both on and off the pitch.

“This new direct partnership with the ICC means that Sky Sports viewers in the UK & Ireland can continue to enjoy every ball, run, wicket and catch from every international tournament for many years to come, and we’re all hugely excited to see what’s in store.”
