Sky Sports

Sky Sports offers unrivalled coverage of England Men’s and Women’s teams as well as domestic competitions, the Vitality Blast, Royal London One-Day Cup, LV= County Championship and The Hundred, which launched in 2021.

ECB extended its long-standing partnership with Sky Sports in 2017 as part of a ground-breaking £1.1 billion combined media rights deal which runs from 2020-24. 

“Sky Sports offer a true partnership - more than a broadcast deal - with their shared vision for cricket,” said ECB CEO, Tom Harrison. “Their innovation and production standards are widely acclaimed. Here, they further increase their live commitment and have added bold ideas to drive engagement and to help to get a bat and ball in more hands.”

Since 2006, when Sky became the ECB’s principal live TV broadcast partner, over £150m has been invested to help strengthen the game, by improving international, First Class and local facilities, as well recruiting over 45,000 more grassroots coaches and over two million state school children to take up the game.
