The Sky Sports App will provide free access to all 12 group matches featuring England, Scotland, and Ireland, as well as the semi-finals and final of the 2026 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. The app will allow users to stream these matches without a subscription, while the first matches of the tournament and the final will also be broadcast on Sky Mix. The tournament's opening match between England and Sri Lanka will be aired on Sky One, Sky Sports' YouTube channel, and linear channels. This move aims to attract the largest possible audience for the tournament, which concludes on July 5 at Lord's.
The Sky Sports App is available for download on various devices, and users can access it to watch the Women's T20 World Cup. As the exclusive broadcaster of the tournament, Sky Sports and NOW will air every match live, with expert analysis from Nasser Hussain, Natasha Farrant, and Hannah Wilkes. The Women's T20 World Cup marks the beginning of a remarkable summer of women's cricket on Sky Sports, featuring a historic women's Test match between England and India and the return of The Hundred.
According to Jonathan Licht, Sky's chief sports officer UK & Ireland, making many ICC Women's T20 World Cup matches available to everyone can help reach new audiences, build fandom, and inspire the next generation. Sanjog Gupta, CEO of the International Cricket Council, believes this move aligns with the ICC's strategy to increase access for fans across screens and stadia, while Beth Barrett-Wild, tournament director, is thrilled that more people will be able to experience the spectacle live via the Sky Sports coverage plan.
