ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Live Streaming, TV Channels, Schedule, and Squad
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 brought eight of the world’s leading ODI teams together for a 15-match tournament hosted by Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates. The competition ran from 19 February to 9 March 2025, with Pakistan hosting matches in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi, while Dubai served as the neutral venue for India’s fixtures.
The tournament returned to the international calendar after the previous edition in 2017, when Pakistan won the title.
For viewers, broadcast and streaming options varied by country. Below is a region-by-region guide to the official TV channels and digital platforms that carried the Champions Trophy 2025.

In Pakistan, matches were available through PTV Sports and Ten Sports, with digital coverage provided by platforms including Myco and the Tamasha app.
Viewers in the United Kingdom could watch the tournament through Sky Sports, while WillowTV was the main broadcaster for audiences in the United States and Canada.
Here is the regional broadcasting list:

Sky’s digital services covered the UK, Willow handled streaming in the US and Canada, and SuperSport provided an online option for much of Sub-Saharan Africa. In several other territories, including markets where a dedicated local broadcaster was not listed, ICC.tv provided coverage.
Because streaming rights can differ from television rights, viewers should check the broadcaster serving their country rather than assuming that the same platform works worldwide.

India’s matches were scheduled in Dubai as part of the tournament’s hosting arrangement. This meant India did not travel to Pakistan for its Champions Trophy fixtures, while the remaining teams played across Pakistan and the UAE. The arrangement also meant that the location of the knockout matches depended on which teams qualified from the group stage.
