The golden sands and azure seas of the West Indies is currently hosting the 11th iteration of the annual Caribbean Premier League, with the five-and-a-half-week tournament running through until the final at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Sunday, October 6.

You can watch the 2024 Caribbean Premier League on Willow and Sling TV in the US and TNT Sports in the UK. And don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on, because you can watch CPL from anywhere with a VPN.

CPL 2024 Quick links

After the pain of losing five finals, the Guyana Amazon Warriors finally broke their CPL duck when they dismantled the Trinbago Knight Riders in last year's final. Now 45 years old, stalwart captain Imran Tahir is back to lead the side in a bid to defend the title. And they've started brilliantly, with Shimron Hetmyer and Gudakesh Motie starring with bat and ball respectively.

The Knight Riders aren't accustomed to losing CPL finals and the tournament's most prolific team (four titles so far) will be hoping to return to winning ways this year. Homegrown talent such as Dwayne Bravo, Jayden Seales, Nicholas Pooran, Sunil Narine and captain Kieron Pollard are some of the best players in the world at this format.

With the Jamaica Tallawahs dropping out of this year's competition, Antigua has their first CPL side in a decade. The Antigua & Barbuda Falcons will be coached by legendary Windies batter Shivnarine Chanderpaul — losing their first four matches probably wasn't quite the start he had in mind, however.

Barbados Royals, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots and, the only ever-present team never to have won a CPL, Saint Lucia Kings make up the half-dozen teams involved this year. And the scoring hasn't disappointed, with three of the tournament's seven biggest ever totals being posted so far.

Ready for a heady cocktail of big hitting and exotic settings? Here's how to watch Caribbean Premier League 2024 from anywhere in the world, with all the information you need below to watch cricket online or on TV.

What is the format of the CPL 2024 competition?

The Caribbean Premier League is a T20 tournament, meaning matches will be played over 20 overs per side.

The six teams start by playing each other twice in the group stage.

Once the group stage is complete, the 1st and 2nd placed teams play in Qualifier 1. The winner of that goes straight through to the Final.

The loser goes through to Qualifier 2, where they play the winner of the Eliminator. The Eliminator is played between the teams who finished 3rd and 4th in the group stage.

The winner of Qualifier 2 will then go on to play in the Final.

The Guyana Amazon Warriors won their first ever Caribbean Premier League title in 2023, having previously list a record five finals.

Captained by Imran Tahir, the Amazon Warriors thrashed the Trinbago Knight Riders in the 2023 final. With thanks to Dwaine Pretorius's four wickets, Guyana bowled out the opposition for just 94. They then chased down the total for the loss of just one wicket in 14 overs, with Saim Ayub top scoring on 52 not out.
