T20 World Cup 2024: What You Need to Know Right Now

Excitement is building for the T20 World Cup 2024 and you probably want the basics without hunting through endless pages. Below you’ll find the key dates, where the games are happening, how to catch them live and a few quick tips on tickets and travel.

When and Where Are the Matches?

The tournament kicks off on June 7, 2024 and runs until June 30. Ten venues across four host nations share the action – South Africa, India, England and New Zealand each get a handful of games. The opening match is in Durban, while the final lands at Lord’s in London.

Each host country will see its own set of group‑stage matches before the knockout rounds converge on England for the quarter‑finals onward. This means you can plan trips around a specific city or follow your favourite team as they move through the schedule.

How to Watch Live: TV, Streaming & Mobile

If you’re in the U.S., the main broadcaster is beIN Sports. You’ll need a cable package that includes it or you can stream via Sling TV’s Soccer Pass, FuboTV, Hulu Live, YouTube TV or Fanatiz. All three platforms offer free trials if you want to test before committing.

European fans can tune in on Sky Sports (UK & Ireland), Canal+ (France) and DAZN (Germany, Italy). In India the matches are on Star Sports and Disney+ Hotstar – just make sure your subscription is active for the whole month.

Mobile viewers should download the official ICC app. It provides live scores, commentary and a limited free video feed in some regions. For full match replays, the ICC YouTube channel uploads highlights within hours of each game.

Don’t forget about VPNs if you travel abroad – they let you appear as though you’re streaming from your home country, which can unlock otherwise geo‑blocked services.

Tickets, Travel & Fan Experience

Ticket sales started in March on the official ICC website. Early bird packages give you a seat for every match in a single venue, plus a discount on merchandise. If you only want to see your favourite team, look for “team‑specific” tickets that focus on those dates.

Most venues offer fan zones with big screens, food stalls and interactive games. Arrive early to snag the best spot – especially in Durban where the opening game draws huge crowds.

Travel wise, book flights and accommodation at least two weeks ahead. Host cities have good public transport links, but Saturday night matches can cause traffic snarls, so plan your route.
