Watch cricket as never before on our new dedicated cricket channel this summer as part of the biggest ever change to Sky Sports.
From today, viewers can tune into Sky Sports Cricket to enjoy the best live action with award-winning commentary and analysis, as well as brand new shows and documentaries.
Sky Sports will be better than ever as we serve up unmissable live sport across 10 channels but you won't need to do anything - the change will happen automatically for existing customers.
It all begins today when we'll bring you new programmes and live coverage of England's Women's World Cup semi-final against South Africa and the third Test between England and South Africa.
It's all part of our commitment to cricket - between now and 2024, Sky Sports will be the only place to watch live coverage of all England home Tests, ODIs and T20s, women's matches and county cricket.
Only on Sky Sports can fans watch England Test Cricket in Ultra HD with Sky Q and all matches from the new eight-team T20 competition launching in 2020. Read more on Sky's landmark deal with the ECB.
In addition, we'll bring you live, weekly masterclasses with stars of the game including Brendon McCullum, Shaun Pollock, Daniel Vettori, Kevin Pietersen and Ellyse Perry as well as a series of stunning features.
In the coming months don't miss 'Cricket and the Rainbow Nation' - a look at South African cricket from the days of their sporting ban during the Apartheid era to the present day - and 'Whispering Death: The Michael Holding', an in-depth look at the life and achievements of a cricket legend.
We'll also bring you the best programmes from our extensive cricket coverage, including our award-winning series Imran.
Sky Sports Cricket is part of a whole new Sky Sports.
You will still receive the best live sport with 10 Sky Sports channels including dedicated channels for the Premier League, Football, Cricket, Golf and F1.
Plus there will be a Main Event channel dedicated to the biggest live events - exclusively available to customers with the full range of Sky Sports channels.
Later in the summer, you'll also be able to get more of the sport you love with improved personalisation on the relaunched Sky Sports App.
New channel line up
As well as the dedicated channels, you can watch the best international rugby union, rugby league, boxing, darts, NFL, tennis and more on the new Sky Sports Action and Arena channels.
