The Champions League T20 (CLT20) is back. After a 12 year hiatus, the battle for global supremacy returns in September 2026.
This is not just another cricket tournament. It is the only place where the champions of the IPL face the kings of the Big Bash, where the PSL title holders lock horns with The Hundred winners. It is the “Best vs Best,” and the world will be tuning in.
With the revival backed by the heavyweights of world cricket—BCCI (India), Cricket Australia (CA), and the ECB (England)—the broadcast production is set to be cinematic. Expect 4K cameras, spider cams, and a commentary panel featuring legends from every participating nation.
This page is your ultimate guide to watching the action live, whether you are on a train in Mumbai, a beach in Sydney, or a sofa in London.
