English cricket’s partnership with broadcaster Sky has been extended by four years to 2028, with commitments to greater exposure for the county and women’s games, as well as a small increase in free-to-air action.
Sky have committed to showing 90 extra hours of cricket each year, including 50 per cent more live Vitality Blast games and more women’s cricket than ever before. The increase in free-to-view coverage is mainly in the women’s game, with a commitment to two free women’s T20is and eight women’s Hundred matches (up from two in this rights cycle).
