Channel 4 and Sky have struck a deal that will open up another major sporting final to free-to-air viewers on Sunday.
The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Final featuring England against Pakistan will be shown live on Channel 4 across the UK and Ireland. Coverage starts at 7am GMT this Sunday, 13th November.
England’s bid to lift the trophy for a second time will be also shown live on Sky Showcase – available in all Sky homes – and on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Cricket.
All channels, including Channel 4, will broadcast Sky Sports’ coverage of the final, which includes the award-winning commentary team of Ian Ward and former England captains Nasser Hussain, Michael Atherton and Eoin Morgan.
This is the latest partnership between Sky and Channel 4 to make a key sporting moment available to the nation. Previous events include the 2019 Cricket World Cup final versus New Zealand and the final race of the 2021 Formula 1 Championship in Abu Dhabi.
Speaking of the deal to make England v Pakistan available on Channel 4, Jonathan Licht, Managing Director, Sky Sports said:
“We know the importance of this game, so we are pleased to be able to share this great sporting moment with our whole nation thanks to our strong relationship with Channel 4. Whether you’re supporting England or Pakistan, this will be one to remember.”
Ian Katz, Chief Content Officer, Channel 4 said:
“We are thrilled that Channel 4 and Sky have struck this deal to make another great national sporting moment available on free to air television to audiences across the UK. As the days draw in, some thrilling international cricket from the southern hemisphere should offer some welcome cheer.”
England, led by Jos Buttler, secured their place in the final after beating India earlier today by 10 wickets.
