Playing a classic two groups of four, semi-finals and final format, it’s also the first time that the likes of India, England and South Africa have flexed their ODI muscles in an ICC competition since Australia captured the World Cup in such style in 2023.
Much of the talk in the lead-up to the tournament has been on the subject of venues, with favorites India refusing to step foot across the border into Pakistan. That means Rohit Sharma’s men will play all of their fixtures in Dubai, with the rest being contested in Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi.
A cavalcade of the globe’s finest talent is set to grace those four venues over the course of the two-and-a-half week tournament, with generational batters Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson, Steve Smith and Babar Azam all making their respective squads.
Our full guide below explains how to watch ICC Champions Trophy live streams from anywhere in the world, and potentially for free as the tournament gets underway in Pakistan on Wednesday, February 19.

How to watch ICC Champions Trophy 2025 from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the cricket on your usual subscription?
You can still watch live ICC Champions Trophy streams thanks to a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It’s the best VPN on the market:
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you’re in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you’d select a U.K. server from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to your usual streaming site or app and watch an ICC Champions Trophy live stream as if you were back at home.
