The 2023 Cricket World Cup will run from Thursday, October 5, with reigning champions England versus New Zealand, and finishes with the final on Sunday, November 19.
Australia’s opening match will be against hosts India on Sunday, October 8.
As in the 2019 World Cup, ten teams will play a full round-robin, with 45 games played before two semi-finals and a final to crown the champions.
Time zones don’t make for great reading for Australian audiences, with day matches scheduled to begin at 4pm (AEDT), while day-night matches get underway at 7:30pm (AEDT). A majority of Australia’s matches are in the later timeslot.

To stream the 2023 Cricket World Cup online, you’ll first need to understand where it will be broadcast on TV, as this dictates which stations are allowed to use their digital platforms to show matches.

During the 2023 tournament, Channel Nine broadcast Australian matches, as well as the tournament opener, five further group stage games, two semi-finals, and the final. It is yet to be confirmed but expected that a similar deal with be struck to allow Australian games to be broadcast on free-to-air TV.
Every other match, including those on Nine, will be shown on Fox Sports, through their 24/7 cricket channel, known as Fox Cricket.
That being said, the only way to stream every match of the tournament online will be to use the Fox Sports coverage.
The best method to do that is through Kayo Sports, which is a service which has the rights to all of Foxtel’s sports channels, as well as selected other events. It’ll set you back at least $25 per month.
The other ways to stream the coverage of every match on Fox Cricket are through the Foxtel App or Foxtel Now, which are Foxtel’s dedicated streaming services.
The Foxtel app is the better service to use if you already have a subscription to TV with the sports package, while Now is the way to go if you’re only looking to stream Foxtel channels. Again, you’ll need a package with the sports channels.
To watch Australian games and the final part of the tournament for free, you’ll be able to tune in through 9Now, which is the Channel Nine streaming service. You will need to sign up for this with a valid email address.
