Why
Legal
Matters!

By watching cricket legally you'll be getting the highest video quality available to you while also supporting the sporting codes right down to local grassroots competitions.

  • Security

    You'll be safe from fraud, ID theft, malicious software and hacking when streaming content from a reputable site.

  • Criminality

    You'll be guilt free knowing that you're not supporting the organised crime networks that run the illegal streaming services.

    One of the ways dodgy sites earn revenue is from the advertisements shown on every page you visit.

  • Exposure

    You'll be protected from exposure to the inappropriate content that is usually displayed on dodgy download or streaming sites.

    You're 8.5 times more likely to be exposed to content that is inappropriate when using dodgy sites.

Where to watch live cricket in Australia

From the Big Bash League in summer to the Ashes, ODI series, and the ICC Cricket World Cup, Australian cricket fans have more to follow than ever. The good news is you don't need to risk dodgy free streams or unofficial apps to keep up. There are legal ways to watch live cricket online in Australia that give you full HD, reliable streams, expert commentary, and the peace of mind that you're not handing your personal data to a piracy site.

Most of those free sports streaming sites host pirated feeds that can hit you with pop-ups, scams and malware.

Free streaming sites and watch cricket live apps from unknown sources are a common entry point for malware and account theft. They also undermine the broadcasters and bodies who invest in the game. By choosing legitimate platforms, you're helping fund the next generation of Australian cricket, from the grassroots to the BBL and the national teams.

Australian cricket fans have plenty of legal options that cover every level of both codes​​:

  • Kayo Sports and Foxtel between them cover the BBL and WBBL, Australian Tests, and international tours.
  • Channel 7 and 7plus carry BBL and WBBL and Test cricket free-to-air, so you can stream live cricket on a budget.
  • For overseas competitions like the Indian Premier League and ICC tournaments, platforms like Amazon Prime Video pick up the rights depending on the season.
  • The CA Live App has loads of domestic competitions too.

Whatever format you follow, from Test match purist to T20 die-hard, you can watch live cricket online in Australia legally, safely, and in great quality. The platforms above are your starting point for live cricket streaming that supports the game, not the pirates.

Most legitimate platforms offer free trials, free-to-air coverage of the biggest moments, and HD streams with proper commentary. You don't miss a thing, and you directly support Australian cricket and the international game.

Dodgy Site…
