Cricket is a game adored by millions in Australia. Our appreciation for that wonderful sound of leather being struck by willow on pristine, green ovals isn’t just a summer love affair.

Stream Cricket Live in Australia

Cricket might be the number one sport every summer in Australia, but the game doesn’t just stop when winter kicks in. All three formats are truly global, meaning that there are boundaries, wickets and run-chases galore throughout the calendar year.

2021 is set to be a huge 12 months for the game. April sees the return of the IPL, the most recognised and successful domestic T20 tournament in cricket featuring the sport’s biggest names. Focus then changes to the test arena in June for the inaugural Test Championship Final at Lords, London, where the first-ever Test World Champions will be crowned.

Attention then moves to white-ball cricket for the 2021 T20 World Cup in India, where the West Indies will be looking for a record third win in October and November. And, as if saving the best ‘til last, there’s a home Ashes series set to get underway from November 22nd. Exciting times indeed!

How to Watch Cricket in Australia

There are several ways to get your daily dose of world-class cricket in Australia, and here we go through all of those options, all of which you can try out for free! From Foxtel and Kayo to Seven and SportsFlick, get the low down of which games you can watch live right now below.

Watch Cricket on Foxtel

Foxtel is unquestionably the home of Australian cricket, thanks to their dedicated channel, Fox Cricket. Not only can you watch every Test Match, as with Seven, but you’ll also have access to every ODI and T20I match across the summer. If you don’t like the idea of a satellite installation, you may wish to check out Foxtel Now’s 10 day free trial offer.

Every delivery from the BBL campaign is also broadcast Live and On Demand, meaning a total of 56 games across the season. Add to that Foxtel’s coverage of international matches involving the likes of New Zealand and next year’s ashes opponents, England, and you see why fans of the game just can’t be without it.

Foxtel’s cricket coverage is headlined by Adam Gilchrist, Isa Guha and Shane Warne. Their commentary line-up reads like a who’s who of Australian cricket, with names such as Mark Waugh, Allen Border, Sarah Jones, Mike Hussey and Brett Lee all on board.

Stream cricket on Kayo Sports

If you like the idea of accessing all of Foxtel’s sports channels, including Fox Cricket, without the need for a long term contract, then Kayo Sports is made for you. The sports streaming service will also give you access to all of Australia’s Tests, ODIs, and T20Is like Foxtel, as well as every BBL game and international matches featuring New Zealand and England.  

Kayo currently offer a free 14 day trial so that you can sample a whole two weeks of cricket on a wide range of devices including PCs, Smart TVs, Games Consoles, Tablets and Mobile Phones. Basic $25/month (watch on two devices) or Standard $35/month packages are optional thereafter, which you are free to cancel at any time. 

There’s also a number of great features on Kayo, such as the No Spoilers feature, which hides results of a game you plan to watch later on demand. Split View will also be handy for cricket fans this summer who want to watch multiple games (or sports) at the same time. For example, you can have Test Match and BBL games live on one screen so you never miss a key moment of play.

Stream on Kayo from Telstra

Alternatively, you can watch Kayo Sports with Kayo from Telstra, a 12-month contract service that works out $10 cheaper every month over an annual period. The Basic package is reduced to $15/month, whilst the Premium option costs only $25/month. That’s a big saving for those all-year-round sports fans who love their Cricket and Motorsport as much as their Footy and League.

On top of that, customers who previously held and NRL or AFL Live Passes with Telstra can also get Kayo for as little as $5/month, an exclusive offer running until May 31st. That’s a huge saving, and a way to access the best of world-class sport.

Sports Flick is one of Australia’s newest streaming platforms, giving air time to a lot of great events that often go under the radar like Women’s Champions League football and MMA.
