Who will broadcast India vs. Japan cricket match in India? Search on for TV rights for historic clash
With Japan Cricket all set for their historic clash against powerhouse India at the 2026 Asian Games, here's a look at who the broadcaster for this must-see game could be.
India is set to host Japan in a historic one-off T20I cricket match on September 22, a fixture that would otherwise draw millions of viewers. While Sony Pictures Networks India has exclusive broadcast rights for the 2026 Asian Games across the subcontinent, this bilateral match is separate and poses broadcast challenges. The timing and location of the match, just a day before the Women's Asian Games gold medal game at a ground with limited capacity, complicate the broadcast logistics.
Major players like FanCode, Sony, Star Sports, and Zee are in discussions to secure rights, but no agreement has been finalized. The Japan Cricket Association is working with ITW Universe to find a dedicated broadcast and streaming partner.
