Cricket on TV Today: Full Channel Guide & Schedule

Sky Sports holds the UK cricket rights, but today’s matches are all on pay-TV, leaving free-to-air fans without a single option. Whether you’re after the IPL’s latest showdown or an England Women’s ODI, the broadcast options vary depending on your country.

Primary UK broadcaster: Sky Sports ·
Primary US streamer: Willow TV ·
Primary IPL streamer: YuppTV

The table below outlines the key broadcasters and their coverage for today.

Seven broadcasters, one pattern: Sky Sports dominates today’s UK lineup, while streaming platforms fill the gaps everywhere else. The catch: if you’re in Australia or India, the usual home‑market broadcasters (Foxtel, Star Sports) do not appear to be airing live cricket today based on the verified listings we found.

Which channel is cricket on today on TV?

UK broadcasters

• Sky Sports Cricket – England Women v New Zealand Women ODI at 11am (Sky Sports (official schedule))
• Sky Sports Mix – IPL: CSK vs LSG also at 11am (Sky Sports)
• Sky Sports Main Event – IPL: RCB vs MI at 3pm (Radio Times)
• BBC, TNT Sports, Premier Sports – no live cricket scheduled today (WheresTheMatch (aggregator))

Australian broadcasters

• Foxtel – no Australian home match listed; IPL may be available but not confirmed for today (Radio Times schedule does not list Foxtel)
• Kayo Sports – streaming equivalent of Foxtel; same uncertainty

Indian broadcasters

• Star Sports – not listed in today’s schedule (no India home match); IPL likely carried but exact channel not verified for May 10
• YuppTV streams the IPL live in India as well (YuppTV (OTT streaming))

International options

• Willow TV (US) – $10/mo Sling add‑on; streams IPL (Sports Media Watch (analysis))
• YuppTV – available in USA, UK, UAE, Singapore, Malaysia, Europe, Australia (YuppTV)

The pattern: UK viewers have three Sky channels covering two matches, while US and global viewers must rely on streaming subscriptions. Australian and Indian fans face uncertainty with no clear free or pay option for today.

What channel is live cricket on?

Live cricket on Sky Sports

• Sky Sports Cricket – England Women v New Zealand Women, 11am
• Sky Sports Mix – CSK vs LSG IPL, 11am
• Sky Sports Main Event – RCB vs MI IPL, 3pm

All times UK. Confirm via (Sky Sports Cricket Schedule (official)).

Live cricket on Foxtel

No Australian domestic cricket or international is listed for today on Foxtel. The IPL may be available on Fox Sports, but the schedules we checked (Radio Times) do not include Foxtel listings. The pattern: Australian viewers should check Foxtel’s own guide or use YuppTV for IPL.

Live cricket on Star Sports

Star Sports is the official BCCI broadcaster, but no India home series is running today. For IPL, Star Sports is likely carrying the matches, but the exact channel numbers vary by DTH provider. Verified schedules (Radio Times, Sky Sports) do not cover Star Sports.

Streaming services

• YuppTV – streams IPL live in multiple countries, including the UK and US, at 6am EST for CSK vs LSG and 9:50am EST for RCB vs MI (YuppTV (streaming))
• Willow TV – US streaming via Sling, similar IPL coverage

The implication: streaming is the only universal option, but it comes with a subscription cost.

Is the India England test series on TV?

Where to watch India vs England Test Series

As of May 10, the India‑England Test series is not currently active. The most recent series concluded earlier this year. No test matches are listed in any of today’s TV schedules. The closest live action for England fans is the England Women v New Zealand Women ODI series, which kicked off in early May (Radio Times (context)).

TV channels for India vs England

When the next series is scheduled, Sky Sports typically holds the UK rights for England matches, while Star Sports broadcasts for India. But today, neither channel is airing a test match.

Streaming options

No live test cricket is available to stream today linked to India‑England. The IPL and the England Women’s ODI are the only major matches airing. (Sky Sports schedule confirms no test)

Is the ashes test on TV?

Ashes broadcasters

The Ashes is a biennial contest between England and Australia. The most recent men’s Ashes was in 2023; the next is not due until the 2025‑26 season. No Ashes matches are scheduled on TV today. The dominant broadcasters — Sky Sports (UK) and Foxtel (Australia) — would be the carriers, but their current schedules show only IPL and England Women’s cricket (Sky Sports schedule).

UK TV channels for Ashes

Sky Sports has historically held exclusive live UK rights for the Ashes. When the series returns, you’ll find it on Sky Sports Cricket. Not today.

Australia TV channels for Ashes

Foxtel and its streaming arm Kayo Sports are the Australian rights holders. Both are currently showing other content; no Ashes programming.

What this means: fans searching for “Ashes on TV today” will come up empty. The next Ashes is still months away — bookmark Sky Sports and Foxtel for when it returns.

What time is the Cricket on TV today?

Today’s cricket schedule

• 10:30 UK – England Women v New Zealand Women ODI (Sky Sports Cricket) (Sky Sports)
• 11:00 UK – IPL: Chennai Super Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants (Sky Sports Mix) (Sky Sports)
• 14:50 UK / 9:50 AM ET – IPL: Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Mumbai Indians (Sky Sports Main Event) (Radio Times)
• 6:00 AM ET – CSK vs LSG (YuppTV) (YuppTV (streaming))

Time zone considerations

UK viewers stay on BST. US East Coast is 5 hours behind UK. West Coast is 8 hours behind. Use YuppTV’s schedule or Willow’s guide to convert accurately.

Listings websites

• Radio Times (UK TV schedule)
• Sky Sports Cricket on Sky
• YuppTV (global streaming)

UK fans should set their alarm for 11am to catch the full day; US viewers on the East Coast need to wake up at 6am for the first IPL match.

Upsides & Downsides of watching cricket on TV today

The trade‑off: you pay for convenience, or you miss out on free cricket. For Australian fans, the absence of any home‑team broadcast is a disappointment, but YuppTV’s IPL coverage at least offers a way to watch the tournament.

How to find cricket on TV today: step‑by‑step

1. Identify your country. The channel depends on where you live. UK → Sky Sports. US → Willow TV / YuppTV. India → YuppTV (Star Sports uncertain for today). Australia → YuppTV.
2. Check the time. Use the schedule above. Convert to your time zone using a tool like timeanddate.com.
3. Tune in or subscribe. If you don’t have Sky Sports, a Now Sports Day Pass (£11.99) gives you access. For the US, Sling + Willow add‑on is $10/mo. YuppTV subscriptions start at $9.99.
4. Set a reminder. CSK vs LSG at 11am UK / 6am ET. RCB vs MI at 2:50pm UK / 9:50am ET.
5. Use an aggregator site like WheresTheMatch (event listings) for last‑minute changes.

Following these steps ensures you won’t miss a ball, regardless of where you are.

– YuppTV

Today’s cricket TV landscape is a tale of two matches: the IPL double‑header and England Women’s ODI. For the UK fan with a Sky subscription, the day is stacked. For the US or Australian viewer, YuppTV and Willow TV are the reliable fallbacks. The trade‑off is clear: you pay for convenience, or you miss out on free cricket. For Australian cricket fans, the absence of any home‑team broadcast today is a disappointment — but YuppTV’s IPL coverage at least offers a way to watch the tournament that dominates the global calendar.
