By Ahmed Raza | Last updated: August 6, 2026
The Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League has confirmed its full lineup of international broadcast partners for the 2026 season, giving cricket fans across the globe multiple ways to follow the tournament from start to finish. The announcement, made on August 6, 2026, arrives just a day before the competition begins on August 7. This year’s CPL carries extra weight because it expands to seven franchises for the first time and will close with the tournament’s first-ever final hosted in Barbados.
Cricket fans preparing for the 2026 Caribbean Premier League now know exactly where to watch every ball of the action, after organizers confirmed the tournament’s broadcast partners on Thursday, just one day before the opening match.
CPL officials announced a full slate of international broadcasters and streaming platforms that will carry the 2026 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League. The confirmation covers territories on nearly every continent, from India and Pakistan to Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and North America, along with dedicated coverage across the Caribbean itself. The announcement was timed to land ahead of the tournament’s first ball on August 7.
This year’s CPL runs from August 7 through September 20 and features 39 matches in total — the most extensive schedule the league has produced. For the first time, seven franchises will take part rather than six. Reigning champions Trinbago Knight Riders, who enter the season under captain Nicholas Pooran, return alongside Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, Barbados Tridents, Guyana Amazon Warriors, Jamaica Kingsmen, Saint Lucia Kings, and St Kitts & Nevis Patriots.

Regional viewers will get their coverage through Rush Live & Louder, a linear cricket channel that CPL launched with Rush Sports on July 1, 2026. Organizers describe it as the first channel of its kind dedicated solely to cricket in the Caribbean, offering year-round programming in addition to live match coverage during the tournament window.
CPL chief executive Pete Russell said the league was pleased to bring in what he called a strong group of broadcast partners for the season, pointing to the expanded seven-team format and the milestone final in Barbados as reasons the 2026 edition stands out from previous years.
Broadcast reach has become one of the clearest measures of how far a T20 league has grown, and CPL’s 2026 lineup shows the tournament reaching well beyond its Caribbean base. With partners now covering South Asia, Australasia, North America, Europe, and the Middle East, fans of overseas signings like Sunil Narine, Wanindu Hasaranga, Alex Hales, and Naseem Shah will be able to follow their teams no matter where they’re watching from. For the Caribbean itself, the arrival of a dedicated regional channel in Rush Live & Louder signals an effort to build a permanent home for cricket coverage rather than relying solely on one-off tournament deals.
The tournament gets underway on August 7, with all seven teams beginning their campaigns across a packed 39-match schedule. Fixtures will run through late August and into September, building toward the historic final in Barbados on September 20. Fans can expect further updates on individual match schedules, ticketing, and any late squad changes as franchises finalize their rosters ahead of the opening round.
With broadcast partners now locked in across more than a dozen territories, the 2026 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League is set up to reach its widest audience yet. The expanded seven-team format, headlined by defending champions Trinbago Knight Riders, runs from August 7 to September 20 and will close with the first CPL final ever staged in Barbados.
