Statement on NZ cricket rights
for immediate release,


Sky has received notification from NZ Cricket that it has awarded a six-year broadcasting
rights agreement with Spark Sport from April 2020.

Sky has been proud to be a partner of NZ Cricket since 1995, bringing local cricket
experiences to kiwi fans right across the country. NZ Cricket holds the rights for domestic
cricket and internationals played in New Zealand, and Sky’s local production team has
enjoyed delivering them to kiwi fans.

Sky will continue to offer some of the best cricket the world has to offer, including exciting
international fixtures involving the Black Caps on tour. Sky’s partnership with Cricket
Australia includes Black Caps tours in 2019/20 and 2020/21, along with all Men’s and
Women’s International matches that will be played in Australia, BCCI (India) which includes
Black Caps tours in 2021/22 and 2022/23, and the popular Indian Premier League.

Exciting news is still to come on the international cricket front.

The strength of the Sky offer is the depth and breadth of sport across 12 HD channels carried
on the satellite and across Sky’s various streaming services and free to air channel
Prime. Sky will continue to offer customers the best range of sport in New Zealand in ways
that work for all New Zealanders no matter where they live.
