TNT Sports to remain exclusive broadcaster of Australia’s home internationals across UK and Ireland
Cricket Australia (CA) has extended its broadcast partnership with TNT Sports, ensuring that cricket fans across the United Kingdom and Ireland will continue to enjoy live coverage of the Australian summer of cricket through the 2025–26 season.
Under the renewed agreement, TNT Sports retains exclusive rights to broadcast all Men’s and Women’s international matches played in Australia — including the NRMA Insurance Men’s Ashes and BKT Tyres Men’s limited-overs series against South Africa and India.
TNT Sports will also provide UK viewers with live coverage of the Australian Women’s multi-format series against India, with match timings optimized for UK accessibility. The platform will deliver full coverage across the UK and Ireland, expanding reach and accessibility for cricket fans in the region.
The relationship between Cricket Australia and TNT Sports dates back to 2016, when matches were broadcast under the BT Sport brand. This extension reinforces the partners’ shared commitment to broadcasting world-class cricket to UK audiences.
Executive reactions to the extended partnership
Todd Greenberg, CEO of Cricket Australia, said:
“We’re pleased to extend our longstanding partnership with TNT Sports and that they will again be instrumental in showcasing the Australian summer of cricket to UK audiences.
“With a highly anticipated season ahead, including the NRMA Insurance Ashes, high-profile BKT Tyres men’s series against India and South Africa, and a multi-format women’s series against India, our partnership with TNT Sports ensures fans across the UK will get great coverage and won’t miss a moment of the action.”
Scott Young, EVP at WBD Sports Europe, added:
“We are privileged to be able to bring every ball of this much-anticipated, iconic series to TNT Sports this winter. This story began in 1882 and it never fails to deliver.
“Quite simply, the Ashes transcends cricket. This winter, we will have two great sides led by two fantastic captains in Pat Cummins and Ben Stokes who lead their teams in different styles go toe-to-toe in one of sport’s biggest rivalries. It will be compelling, must-watch sporting drama at its finest.”
