2026 season
There's no single global channel for the IPL — TV rights are sold country by country, which is why “where can I watch” is a harder question than it should be. This guide lists the official broadcaster for each country we've been able to verify, straight from the league, the BCCI, or the broadcaster's own announcement. If your country sits in the “still being confirmed” list below, that's deliberate: we'd rather leave a gap than print a guess.
One heads-up: this page covers the 2026 season, which has now finished, so treat it as the verified record of who showed what — not a promise about next year's deals. Rights change hands all the time, and we'll update this guide when they do.
| Country | Where to watch |
|---|---|
| India | Star Sports Network Television JioHotstar Streaming |
| United Kingdom | Sky Sports All 84 matches of the 2026 season live |
| Ireland | Sky Sports Covered by Sky's IPL deal for the UK and Ireland through 2027 |
| United States | Willow Streaming |
| Canada | Willow Streaming |
Tip: blackout rules can apply to local games on some services — the broadcaster's own site has the final word for your postcode.
We could not verify an official broadcaster for these countries yet, so we would rather say so than guess: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa.

Every broadcaster listed above comes from an official announcement — the league's own site or press releases. We update this guide when rights change.
