WCL 2026 broadcast partners — country by country

All 18 matches of Season 3 are scheduled for television and digital coverage across the following territories.

India — Star Sports Network and FanCode

India is the tournament’s largest market, and coverage is split between television and digital. The Star Sports Network carries the live telecast, with Star Sports 1 and Star Sports 1 HD in English and Star Sports 1 Hindi for Hindi commentary. FanCode handles digital live streaming of all 20 fixtures on its app and website. Afternoon matches begin at 5:00 PM IST and evening matches at 9:00 PM IST.

Pakistan — Tamasha

Pakistani viewers stream Season 3 on Tamasha, the Jazz-operated platform that also carried WCL in 2025. Matches start at 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM Pakistan Standard Time. Pakistan Champions open their campaign against tournament debutants Bangladesh Champions on the opening evening.

United Kingdom — TNT Sports

TNT Sports holds United Kingdom coverage, as it did for the first two seasons when the tournament was played at Edgbaston and Northampton. British viewers get the earliest start times of any major market: 12:30 PM for afternoon fixtures and 4:30 PM for evening fixtures, British Summer Time.

United States and Canada — Willow TV

Willow TV, the dedicated cricket network available through Sling TV, Dish and other carriers, covers North America. Afternoon matches land at 7:30 AM Eastern and evening matches at 11:30 AM Eastern, making Season 3 a breakfast and lunchtime tournament for viewers in the United States and Canada.

Australia — Fox Sports, Foxtel and Kayo

Australian coverage runs across Fox Sports and Foxtel on television with Kayo Sports streaming. The time difference is unkind: afternoon fixtures start at 10:30 PM and evening fixtures at 2:30 AM the following morning, Australian Eastern Daylight Time. Australia Champions play the opening match of the tournament.

South Africa — SuperSport

SuperSport carries the tournament across sub-Saharan Africa on television and through its streaming app. South Africa Champions arrive as defending champions after beating Pakistan Champions by nine wickets in the 2025 final, and begin against West Indies Champions on 4 October.

Bangladesh — T Sports

T Sports covers Bangladesh, where interest is higher than in previous editions because Bangladesh Champions are competing for the first time. Mahmudullah Riyad is among the names on the Season 3 list. Matches begin at 5:30 PM and 9:30 PM Bangladesh Standard Time.

Middle East and North Africa — STARZ Play

STARZ Play streams the tournament across the Middle East and North Africa. This is the host region for Season 3, so matches run in local prime time: 3:30 PM and 7:30 PM Gulf Standard Time. Supporters attending in person buy through District, the official ticketing platform for the tournament.

WCL 2026 match times in your time zone

Every Season 3 fixture starts in one of two slots, 3:30 PM or 7:30 PM Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4). The conversions below apply to both venues.

Australia moves to Australian Eastern Daylight Time on 4 October, so opening-day fixtures are an hour earlier there than the table shows. The full WCL 2026 schedule carries a time-zone switcher for every individual fixture.

Opening day: the Sharjah double-header

Season 3 starts with two matches at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on 3 October 2026. India Champions face Australia Champions at 3:30 PM UAE time, and Pakistan Champions meet Bangladesh Champions at 7:30 PM. India Champions won the inaugural title in 2024; Bangladesh Champions are playing their first match in the competition.

The fixture many viewers searched for, India Champions against Pakistan Champions on 10 October 2026, will not be shown: it was cancelled when Pakistan Champions withdrew from Season 3 on 6 October.
