The agreement gives Indian subscribers access to matches across all formats — Tests, ODIs, and T20Is — running from October 1, 2025, through March 2026.
The upcoming season marks one of the busiest home cricket calendars in New Zealand’s recent history, with both the Black Caps and White Ferns scheduled to host several top international sides.

The West Indies will arrive in early November for a comprehensive multi-format tour that includes five T20Is, three ODIs, and three Tests, stretching from November 5 to December 18. In March 2026, South Africa is set to visit for a five-match T20I series, with several fixtures scheduled as double-headers alongside women’s matches.
White Ferns to play Zimbabwe and South Africa
On the women’s side, the White Ferns are set to face Zimbabwe for the first time in international cricket. The two teams will meet for a six-match series comprising three T20Is and three ODIs between February and early March 2026. South Africa’s women’s team will also tour during this period, with several of their matches aligned with men’s fixtures as part of double-header events.
