Sky and NOW have a confirmed UK and Ireland rights route for the 2027 World Test Championship final. In Australia, the ICC's agreement places the final on Prime Video. Viewers in India should check JioStar's final-specific channel and package announcement before paying.
The final is scheduled for 9–13 June 2027 at The Kia Oval. Choose the service for your viewing country, then confirm its event listing and subscription. Cricket Matches explains the options; the match plays on the external provider.
The final's rights period and published time
ICC rights, not England home-series rights
The ICC–Sky agreement runs through 2031 and specifically lists the 2027 WTC final. Its coverage is separate from England's home-series rights. Use the ICC agreement for this final even though England hosts the match.
Published calendar time
The ECB's England calendar lists 10:30 for the final. Keep that published clock time separate from any conversion shown by your device or broadcaster. Confirm the local date and start before a day's play; studio coverage and the first ball may have different listing times.
Country routes and what each announcement covers
| Viewing country | Checked rights evidence | Access detail to check |
|---|---|---|
| UK and Ireland | ICC agreement with Sky and NOW includes the 2027 WTC final | Match channel and the local cricket-inclusive package |
| Australia | ICC agreement with Prime Video covers WTC finals through 2027 | Australian membership and event listing |
| India | ICC and JioStar reaffirmed their agreement on 12 December 2025 | Specific 2027 final channel, app and consumer pack |
These rows come from the ICC–Sky agreement, the Australian Prime Video announcement and the ICC/JioStar statement. Service details were checked on 27 October 2026.
Country, platform and playback restrictions
India: the final needs its own listing
The ICC statement names JioStar as its media rights partner in India. It does not specify the 2027 final feed or which current subscription to buy for it.
For comparison, the ICC's 2026 men's T20 World Cup broadcaster directory named Star Sports channels and JioHotstar in India. This is evidence for a different ICC event in 2026. Use it to recognise the platforms, not as a substitute for the WTC final's own listing.
UK and Ireland packages
In the UK, NOW's checked pack help distinguishes cricket-inclusive memberships from Football Membership, which excludes Sky Sports Cricket. Use the local checkout in Ireland; UK terms should not be assumed identical.
Australia: the local Prime Video entitlement
A Prime Video page for another country, or an extra channel sold through the same app, need not establish Australian ICC access.
Live play and replays
Use a live event page for live play. A match preview, score update or highlights clip does not establish access to the full final. Replay availability and how long it lasts also need a specific service listing.
Frequently asked questions
Does Sony's England agreement establish this final's India stream?
No. It covers ECB content. The WTC final is an ICC event, so use ICC-specific rights and the final's consumer listing.
Is Prime Video the worldwide broadcaster?
The cited agreement is for Australia. It does not establish access in India, the UK or another country.
Is the match included free for anyone with an Amazon account?
The announcement refers to eligible Prime members in Australia. A basic account and a paid membership are different things.
Does the published 10:30 mean 10:30 where I live?
No conversion is supplied here. Compare the ECB's calendar time with the viewing service's local event listing.
Can I choose a service before knowing the finalists?
You can compare the rights routes and current terms. Confirm the actual event entitlement before purchasing access for the final.
Is a free ICC.tv or YouTube full-match stream confirmed here?
No. A free clip or another ICC event's stream is not evidence of free live coverage of this final.
Membership and renewal conditions
Australia: Prime membership
The ICC announcement dated 4 December 2023 covers 2024–2027 and includes World Test Championship finals. It described the matches as included for Prime members in Australia without an additional charge for the cricket. That is a membership arrangement, not a promise of free access without a subscription.
UK and Ireland: existing subscriptions and terms
If you already have a sports subscription, inspect the included channel before adding another one. Compare the membership duration with the days you intend to watch and read any renewal or minimum commitment. The rights announcement does not guarantee a 2027 tariff.
Check the selected service before viewing
India: use the final's event listing
When that listing is available, check whether you want television or online access, then match the package to your screen. Keep the name of the final beside the subscription details. A page advertising general cricket coverage can be broader than the particular content included in the plan you select.
Australia: open the local Prime Video event
Open Prime Video with the Australian account you intend to use and find the final's event listing when available. Check the membership shown there before checkout.
India-specific consumer access remains to be confirmed; the UK and Australian rights periods are established separately.
