Sky Sports to show every TATA Indian Premier League and TATA Women’s Premier League in a new four-year deal

Sky Sports will continue to be home of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) and TATA Women’s Premier League (WPL), bringing the greatest players in the world from the men’s and women’s game to sports fans in the UK & Ireland.

The four-year deal to broadcast two of the sport’s top T20 tournaments starts this year, running until the end of 2027 and will add to the existing line up of cricket’s most highly anticipated live events, exclusively available on Sky Sports and NOW.

Sky Sports coverage of the WPL began in February and culminated in thrilling fashion with the Royal Challengers Bangalore stunning the Delhi Capitals to become TATA Women’s Premier League champions on Sunday evening. It was the Challengers first win over the Capitals in five attempts making victory all the sweeter.

The TATA Indian Premier League begins on March 22, with live coverage of the competition running until May. Twelve of England’s cricket stars are set to be involved this season including Moeen Ali, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes and Sam Curran as well as England’s ICC T20 World Cup 2023 captain, Jos Buttler, who will join forces with local favourites Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to create an all-star line-up for fans to enjoy.

Sky Sports customers will be able to watch 74 live matches from the TATA Indian Premier League in 2024.

Jonathan Licht, Managing Director at Sky Sports, said: “The IPL and WPL are two fantastic competitions that see the world’s best players compete in front of a fanatical local audience - resulting in some of the most explosive and entertaining cricket in the calendar as we saw with the conclusion of the WPL on Sunday.

“We’re excited to bring these great live events to life on Sky Sports, adding to the already unrivalled cricket line up this year and giving fans access to more of the sport and players that they love.”
