Disney+ Hotstar to Stream ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 'Free on Mobile'

Disney+ Hotstar has announced that the forthcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be available for free streaming on the Disney+ Hotstar app for mobile users.

Sajith Sivanandan, Head of Disney+ Hotstar India, emphasized the initiative's goal to enhance cricket accessibility, stating, “By offering the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 for free on mobile, we aim to make the game of cricket more accessible, reach a wider audience across the country and ensure that none of the sporting action is missed. No sport works as a better catalyst than cricket in bringing people together. Last year’s Asia Cup and ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, where we offered both tournaments for free on mobile, allowed us to serve newer audience segments helping us to significantly expand viewership.”

With the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the platform will once again have an array of features to elevate the cricket watching experience," said the company.
