YuppTV, a South Asian content focussed OTT platform, has announced that it acquired the broadcast rights for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, scheduled between October 16 and November 13, 2022, for 75 nations.

However, the rights don’t authorise it to air the cricket matches in India and some neighbouring countries.

YuppTV bagged the exclusive broadcast rights for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Australia 2022 for 75 countries, including Continental Europe, Malaysia (non-exclusive), Japan, China, Hong Kong (non-exclusive), Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, and Southeast Asia (except Singapore).

The tournament, to be telecast live over YuppTV’s platform, is the 8th edition of the tournament and will be held across seven venues in Australia.

The tournament features 16 teams competing for the world title of T20 champions. A total of 45 matches are scheduled to be played in the tournament, YuppTV said in a statement.

Fans from across the world await the most anticipated fixture, India vs Pakistan, which will take place on October 23 2022 in Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The final match of the tournament is scheduled on November 13 where the winning team will claim the ultimate prize in T20 cricket.

Speaking on the successful acquisition, Uday Reddy, YuppTV CEO & Founder, said, “Cricket is one of the biggest sports in the entire world, with more than one billion fans situated in different corners of the globe. T20 began as an exciting format, and in recent years, has become one of the most watched and loved forms of the game.

“The exciting match-up between international teams for world dominance is guaranteed to be an enthralling experience for viewers, who will be gearing up from the comfort of their homes to watch the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 to support their favorite teams and take them to victory.
