Sixteen Indian Premier League matches are set to be shown on free-to-air TV in the UK, with ITV signing an innovative deal with fellow broadcaster DAZN.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, the two broadcasting giants have combined to take the current IPL rights away from Sky Sports on a five-year deal. ITV will air 16 of the regular season games, with DAZN taking the other 58, including the semi-finals and final.
According to the report, DAZN are said to be funding the large part of the joint venture, having sub-contracted a handful of games to ITV in order to grow their audience.
