Some of the world’s best cricket nations are in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates this month for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
Running from February 19 to March 9, 2025, the tournament features the top eight national cricket teams based on the results of the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Want to watch the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy matches online? Here’s what you need to know.
Cricket fans in the U.S. don’t have to sign up for a VPN or pricey subscription service to watch the ICC Champions Trophy online. This year’s matches are streaming live on Willow HD, a U.S.-based sports channel dedicated to cricket. You may be able to find Willow HD in your cable package, but your best bet is to sign up for Sling TV, which offers a live Willow HD feed that you can stream online without cable.
Sling has three streaming packages that include Willow HD, with prices starting at just $8/month for its Dakshin Flex plan. That offer gets you 15 live and on-demand South Asian-themed channels, including Willow HD to watch ICC cricket live online.
The plan also lets you stream Star Channel and Hotstar content on-demand, in addition to the live Willow HD stream. Get Dakshin Flex on Sling for $10/month or sign up for a six-month plan for $50. The latter works out to just $8.33/month and saves you $10 versus going month to month.
You can also watch ICC Champions Trophy on Sling through its Desi Binge Plus plan, which gets you Willow HD live, plus unlimited Hindi shows, series, and movies from Star Plus, Sony LIV, and more. Desi Plus on Sling costs $75 for six months of access.
Sling TV’s Urdu package, meantime, includes 15+ Urdu channels plus a live Willow HD feed to watch ICC Champions Trophy online. Regularly $15, Sling’s latest promotion gets you the Urdu package for just $10.
Use any of the above streaming packages to watch the International Cricket Council championship tournament online. In addition to a live ICC Trophy stream, Sling offers a ton of news and entertainment content.
What we like: Sling lets you stream on three devices simultaneously, so everyone can watch what they want. Sling’s latest offers also include free DVR for up to 50 hours, so you can record the cricket matches to watch a replay on-demand later.
A note: while there are ICC Champions Trophy free streaming links floating around sites like Reddit, Willow HD is the only official cricket livestream in the U.S. Sling is also one of the only streaming services to offer a Willow HD feed for this year’s tournament.
Pakistan are the defending ICC Champions Trophy winners; Australia and India have both won two titles each.
