The ICC Champions Trophy sees the best white ball cricket teams in the world play off to see who's top of the 50-over tree. You can watch ICC Champions Trophy 2025 live streams on Willow and Sling TV in the US and Sky Sports in the UK, with the tournament running from Wednesday, February 19 until the final on Sunday, March 9.
It's been eight years since Pakistan walked away from the Oval clutching the Champions Trophy, having vanquished their bitterest foes India in a one-sided final. This time they play host, with the likes of Australia, England, South Africa and New Zealand among the seven sides hoping to wrestle away the major international silverware.
While much of the lead-up to the tournament has been about whether India would grace the host nations' stadia (in the end it was decided all India games would be played in Dubai), now the focus turns to what will happen out in the middle.
For India and Australia, it's a chance to add another white ball win to their respective 50-over and T20 World Cup victories. South Africa's men will once again be hoping to get the monkey off their backs that has prevented them from winning a major tournament, and Afghanistan and Bangladesh will be desperate to show that they're not just in Pakistan to make up the numbers.
With 15 matches played out over 19 days, below is all the information you need to live stream every game of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy and watch cricket online or on TV.
