ICC Champions Trophy cricket on TV 2025: Channel, schedule and live stream
Your complete guide on how to watch the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on TV and live stream, including full broadcast details.
The ICC Champions Trophy makes a comeback to the international cricket calendar for the first time in eight years this week.
The eight editions of the tournament to date were held on a biennial or quadrennial basis until 2017. Officials pulled the tournament to ensure the Cricket World Cup was the centrepiece ODI trophy.
However, it's back in business, and reigning champions Pakistan return to the stage as defending champions and hosts to boot. It will be the first major global tournament hosted in Pakistan since the 1996 CWC over previous safety concerns, exacerbated by the 2009 attack on the Sri Lankan team.
Pakistan defeated fierce rivals India in the final at The Oval in 2017. The sides will not meet in Pakistan this time, with India continuing to refuse to play matches in the country. Instead, India games will be hosted by the United Arab Emirates.
England's white-ball team will be desperate to pull out of their recent tailspin with Brendon McCullum set for his first major competition as the limited-overs head coach.
RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about how to watch the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
