TNT Sports and 5 to Broadcast England’s White‑Ball Tour of Australia

By Max Miller

TNT Sports and 5 have agreed to show the England men’s cricket team’s white‑ball tour of Australia this winter. TNT Sports will broadcast the three ODIs and five T20s live during November and December, while 5 will provide free‑to‑air highlights on its linear channel and streaming service. Both broadcasters are now part of Paramount Skydance, following its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.

The agreement with Cricket Australia also covers TNT Sports airing New Zealand’s four‑test series in Australia this December and January, as well as the 150th anniversary test match between England and Australia in March. TNT Sports will also show the Australia Women’s ODI series against New Zealand in March.

The production plans for the England white‑ball tour will be announced in due course.
