How to watch cricket in Australia in 2026-27: Tests, ODIs and T20Is on TV and streaming

The Australian cricket summer is part free and part paid. Seven and 7plus carry the four Tests against New Zealand from 9 December and most of the Big Bash, while the England ODIs and T20Is, which start on 13 November, are only on Fox Cricket and Kayo. Kayo costs $29.99 a month for Standard and $45.99 for Premium. Cricket Australia's rights deals with Seven and with Foxtel both run to the 2030-31 season.

Free: Seven and 7plus

Seven shows the men's home Tests and the women's home internationals, plus 30 BBL matches and 20 WBBL matches, with every final of both. It streams them free on 7plus. Brendon McCullum joins Seven's commentary for the New Zealand series.

Paid: Fox Cricket and Kayo

Foxtel's Fox Cricket channel and Kayo show every international Australia plays at home, including the white-ball series Seven does not have, and every BBL and WBBL match. Cricket Australia's South Africa tour, which is scheduled to finish in Cape Town on 31 October, is also exclusive to Kayo and Fox Cricket. Foxtel Group says Fox Cricket will become Kayo Cricket in 2027 but has not given a date.

Kayo Standard is $29.99 a month for one stream in HD. Premium is $45.99 for two streams in 4K. Both prices apply from 5 February 2026. Finder says Kayo no longer has a traditional free trial, but eligible new customers can often get an introductory offer such as a 7-day trial or a $1 first month, so check at sign-up. Our Kayo page lists what else is on the service.

The Big Bash

BBL|16 opens on 12 December with Melbourne Renegades against Perth Scorchers in Chennai, the league's first match in India, and ends with the final on 26 January. WBBL|12 starts on Thursday 29 October and finishes with the final on 5 December. See our Big Bash guide for the fixtures and channels.

After the summer

Australia's five-Test tour of India starts on 21 January 2027 in Nagpur, and Foxtel Group says Kayo has exclusive live coverage of it. The 150th Anniversary Test against England is at the MCG from 11 March 2027, and Seven's commentary line-up includes Stuart Broad.
