Watch IPL 2026 live streams
The Indian Premier League (IPL), arguably the biggest cricketing tournament on the calendar, is all set for a 19th season in 2026. RCB won their maiden title last year after an 18-year wait under the captaincy of Rajat Patidar. For the first time ever, the fan-favorite side – and ‘King’ Kohli – will enter the tournament as defending champions, hoping to get their hands on the silverware once again.

Watch IPL 2026 live streams from anywhere
You won't be able to watch your regular IPL 2026 live streams while traveling abroad. The streaming service will spot that you're in a foreign country and block you.
You can use a VPN (virtual private network) to get around this, though. It's a straightforward piece of software that sets your device to appear as if it's in a different country, allowing you to watch any Indian Premier League 2026 live stream from anywhere in the world.
We rate NordVPN as the best VPN for streaming sport. It offers a 30-day guarantee for all your money back if you're not happy with the service.
Watch IPL live streams 2026 in the US
Cricket fans in the US will be able to watch IPL 2026 live streams via the dedicated cricket service Willow TV. The service costs from $10 a month and is available from a number of cable providers including Dish, Spectrum, Xfinity, Verizon Fios and more.
If you don't have cable, then the best option is to try an OTT provider such as Sling TV. There are options to pay just for Willow (from $10 a month), or add it to your existing Sling plan. You can check out your options and sign up on its website.
To access your usual streaming service from outside the US, you'll need to download a good VPN, as detailed above.

IPL 2026 Preview
This year’s tournament was preceded by a mini auction, meaning most teams have managed to retain their core players. While the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will rely heavily on stars such as Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah, teams like Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will look towards overseas stars like Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Marsh, and Aiden Markram.
Only three teams – Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Lucknow Super Giants – are yet to win the tournament. Punjab Kings came close with a narrow loss in last year’s final against RCB, while Delhi Capitals and LSG failed to make it past the playoffs. They will be eager to change that this season.
Meanwhile, multiple-time champions Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, who finished near the bottom of last year’s table, will be keen to turn their fortunes around. Will we see a new team crowned IPL 2026 champions, or will the experienced sides assert their dominance once again?
