ICC World Cup 2019: When and where to watch, live streaming and telecast details

The 2019 World Cup is one of the most unpredictable World Cups of all time. A lot of teams have displayed that they have the ability to lift the prestigious trophy. On the other hand, there are underdogs who can beat anyone on their day. So it is not a surprise that fans can't wait for the tournament to start.

The format of this tournament is different from that in 2011 and 2015. It is similar to 1992 where all the teams will play each other in the league stage. The top four teams will qualify for the semifinals.

The mega-event will kick off with an opening fixture between England and South Africa on 30th May. The final of the World Cup will be held on 14th July when we will know the new World Champion.

ICC World Cup 2019 Telecast Rights

Star Sports won the rights to broadcast all major ICC events between 2015 and 2023. This gives the network an exclusive right to telecast highlights and live matches across different platforms.

Star Sports, owned by Fox Sports will try to milk this opportunity by telecasting World Cup on its various HD and SD channels. Indian audience can also follow the live streaming on Hotstar.
