England's next two visits to Trent Bridge will be broadcast on free-to-air TV, after the ECB agreed a four-year deal with 5 to bring four live international T20 cricket fixtures to terrestrial audiences each summer.

England Women's fixture against India on Saturday 28 June (2.30pm start), and England Men's encounter with South Africa on Sunday 14 September (2.30pm start) will both be simulcast on 5 and Sky Sports.

Tickets remain available for both fixtures. Secure your seats here...

5 will also stream highlights from the Vitality Blast across the season.

The first Vitality IT20 internationals to be aired will be England Women v West Indies Women on Monday, May 26, followed by England Men v West Indies Men on Sunday, June 8. 

The channel previously broadcast the England men’s cricket team’s highlights every summer from 2006 to 2019 and was the terrestrial home of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in 2023.

Ben Frow, Chief Content Officer at 5, said: "We are thrilled to partner with the ECB to bring live T20 cricket to free-to-air TV. This collaboration brings a summer of live T20 cricket to our audience across the UK and adds to our growing sports offering."

Tony Singh, ECB Chief Commercial Officer, said: “With the international season getting under way this week, we’re delighted to welcome 5 back to cricket as the free-to-air TV home for four of the summer’s big IT20 clashes. We’re delighted that this partnership also means that for the first time viewers will be able to watch regular broadcast highlights of county cricket’s T20 Vitality Blast through 5’s streaming service.”

The deal follows the recent extension of the ECB and BBC’s partnership which sees the BBC continuing to screen England Men’s and Women’s international highlights and live coverage of The Hundred for the next four years.
