Sky Sports will carry the 2026 Major League Cricket season live across the UK and Ireland from Thursday, June 18. The fourth edition features 34 matches, opening at Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium outside Dallas, returning to Oakland Coliseum and adding the LA Knight Riders Cricket Ground in Pomona, a future 2028 Olympic venue. Stars Steve Smith, Ravichandran Ashwin and Finn Allen headline the line‑up for fans.

Bryan Henderson MBE, Sky Sports Director of Cricket, called the league “one of the most exciting emerging competitions” and praised its rapid growth. Broadcasting the tournament alongside Test, One‑Day and women’s T20 cricket gives UK fans a full summer of live action. Viewers can now stream via the Sky Sports app or sign up with NOW for contract‑free access.

The six franchises—MI New York, Texas Super Kings, Los Angeles Knight Riders, San Francisco Unicorns, Seattle Orcas and Washington Freedom—will vie for the title as the league seeks to cement T20’s foothold in the American market. With high‑profile internationals on roster, the 2026 season offers a clear benchmark for the sport’s expansion north of the border.
