ICC TV is preparing to deliver the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka. Every match will be available through a comprehensive broadcast package featuring a pre-match show, innings interval programming, post-match wrap-up and daily highlights.
The tournament will be produced by six dedicated crews operating across eight venues in India and Sri Lanka, supported by eight broadcast kits and up to 45 cameras to capture the action with greater depth, precision and editorial flexibility. ICC TV will work closely with production services partner JioStar and equipment services partner NEP to deliver the event.
In total, around 720 broadcast professionals will be involved across production, technical operations, editorial, graphics, data and broadcast management. The workforce reflects the tournament’s global character, with talent drawn from more than 20 nationalities.

To enhance how the game is explained to viewers, ICC TV has introduced two new broadcast innovations for the tournament, developed in partnership with Quidich Innovation Labs and WTVision.
* Pitchview transforms the playing surface into a data-rich virtual model, visually mapping pitch characteristics and linking zones to performance metrics. This helps commentators explain how conditions influence tactics, scoring patterns and outcomes.
* Skillview focuses on key moments of execution and decision-making, using precision-anchored virtual graphics that lock seamlessly onto the field. The system converts technique, athleticism and tactical intent into intuitive visual storytelling.
WTVision will manage on-air graphics, supported by detailed cricket analytics from CricViz to ensure data-led storytelling throughout the broadcast. Quidich Innovation Labs will also operate Field 360°, a virtual field model designed to bring clarity to field placements, tactical setups and in-game adjustments.
Beyond live matches, ICC TV will distribute a range of non-live content to broadcast partners worldwide, including daily player profiles, team features, match previews, venue spotlights and exclusive behind-the-scenes access, offering fans a closer look at the tournament throughout its run.
