Where to watch ILT20 2023: UK live stream

The global rights for the ILT20 have been snapped up by ZEE TV (more on which below), giving you a few avenues to watch it in the UK.

For starters, you can watch directly with ZEE's online streaming service called ZEE5 Global. It costs £6.99 a month or £29.99 for a whole year and can be downloaded as an app for smartphones, tablets, Smart TVs and Android TV, as well as being accessed on your laptop.

Prefer to get more sport with your subscription service? BT Sport has also secured the ILT20 tournament.

If you don't want to commit to an expensive long term plan, you could choose a BT Sport Monthly Pass. This gives you all the BT Sport channels - including coverage of the Test cricket, Premier League and European football, Champions Cup rugby, UFC, boxing and more - for just £25 a month (going up to £29.99 from February 17).

You can watch BT Sport in pretty much any device you can think of, including Apple, Android, Amazon Fire, Smart TVS, Roku and games consoles.

But handily, ZEE also has channels on the country's major TV providers. Sky has the best offer, as ZEE TV is included with any regular TV package (at channel 709). So if you have Sky, you'll be ready to watch on your TV and on the move via the Sky Go app. Click here to watch ILT20 cricket on ZEE TV with Sky Sports.

If you're a regular BT TV customer, you'll need to purchase its Asian Mix package for an extra fiver a month. While Virgin TV is charging an extra £12 a month for its Asian Mela TV add-on to watch ZEE.

Most games will be shown at 2.00pm GMT in the UK, with a smattering being broadcast at 10.00am on matchdays where two fixtures are being played.

Where to watch ILT20 around the world

Zee Entertainment Enterprises splashed out a hefty $120m USD to secure the global broadcast rights to the ILT20 for the next 10 years.

As well as on the ZEE5 Global app, you'll also be able to watch on the following TV channels around the world:

India: ZEE Cinema, ZEE Anmol Cinema, ZEE Thirai, ZEE Bangla Cinema, ZEE Zest

Pakistan: Geo Super

US: Willow TV

How to watch ILT20 live streams from abroad

If you're abroad at the moment and try to watch an ILT20 live stream from your country's broadcaster, you'll likely be blocked from doing so.

In order to watch the streaming service you pay for when travelling overseas, one option is to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN). This software allows your laptop, phone, tablet or streaming device to appear as if it's back in your home country.

Providers ExpressVPN and NordVPN are generally considered to be two of the best VPN services available, with excellent reputations for their ease-of-use, security and ability to unblock most streaming services.
