The 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup—being hosted by the West Indies and the United States—runs through June. If you’re a cricket fan, it’s undeniable popcorn entertainment. Twenty teams are competing to lift the trophy, from heavyweights India to defending champions England. Sadly, in all the major cricket-loving markets, the 2024 T20 World Cup is behind a paywall. (I’ve written a separate guide that runs through the paid choices.) There are no free-to-air options. But if you’re willing to work a bit more (or are lucky enough), you can watch every match from the T20 World Cup for free. So, how do you go about it?

How to watch T20 World Cup 2024 on ICC.tv

In over 80 territories around the world, the 2024 T20 World Cup is being streamed for free on ICC.tv. All you need is an ICC account. If you live in those regions, you can watch every match for no charge. (The full list is below.)

If you live somewhere else, you can still do so—by use of a VPN. In addition to protecting your privacy and enhancing your security, a VPN fools a website into thinking that you’re visiting from a different part of the world. As long as your VPN provider has a server in any of the 80 countries below, you can watch the T20 World Cup on ICC.tv.

I recommend NordVPN. I’ve used it for over a year—it’s reliable, trusted, and has no bandwidth limits. With a single account, you can connect up to 10 devices at the same time. It has servers in over a hundred countries, so you’re bound to find one that works for ICC.tv. Best of all, NordVPN has apps for Android, iPhone, Windows, macOS, Android TV, Apple TV, and Fire TV Stick. You can also use its browser extension in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
