Star Sports Secures Exclusive ICC Broadcast Rights: Bringing Cricket’s Greatest Spectacles to Over 1.5 Billion Viewers. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has granted Star Sports the highly sought-after global broadcast rights for every ICC tournament from 2015 through 2023, which is an exciting development for cricket fans around the world.
Through this historic agreement, cricket fans will get unique access to live games, highlights, and more on all platforms, including coverage of important competitions including the ICC Cricket World Cup, ICC Women’s World Cup, ICC World Twenty20, ICC Champions Trophy, and ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup.
A Successful Partnership
Star Sports, the top sports network, has a long-standing partnership with the ICC. Star Sports is owned by 21st Century Fox through its subsidiaries STAR TV and Fox International Channels. The global broadcast rights for all ICC main tournaments were previously held by ESPN Star Sports, a joint venture between Star Sports and ESPN, from 2007 to 2015.
Widespread Coverage
Star Sports makes sure that cricket fans in these regions are treated to first-rate coverage by focusing mostly on India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka (India and the Indian Subcontinent). Their impact extends further, though. By extending its reach into East Asia on particular channels, Star Sports increases the likelihood that ICC tournaments will be seen worldwide.
Delivering Cricket to the World
As the owner of the global broadcast rights, Star Sports is tasked with the essential task of syndicating and disseminating ICC events to a sizable global audience. Through their tireless efforts, the major cricket events are broadcast live to nearly 1.5 billion viewers, allowing fans from all around the world to watch the exciting action on the pitch.
