Disney+Hotstar has the exclusive broadcasting rights for all of the Indian cricket team’s home matches as well as all ICC events. With these broadcasting rights, Disney+Hotstar hopes to develop its ecosystem and provide its customers with an exceptional experience.
An intriguing announcement has been made by Disney+Hotstar, and it is intended to compete with Jio Cinema. The well-known mobile application has tentative plans to provide its mobile customers with unrestricted access to the ICC World Cup 2023 and the Asia Cup 2023. Both of these next cricket competitions are extremely awaited. Following the grand final of the World Test Championship, which is now taking place, these tournaments have a large amount of prominence in the cricket world.
Jio Cinema had tried out a method quite similar to this one in the past, specifically during the IPL 2023, which resulted in audience numbers that broke records and topped the 25 million mark. The Indian Premier League also broke numerous records for viewership on Star Sports. As a result of these accomplishments, Disney+Hotstar has come to the conclusion that it is in the best interest of its customers to make available to them the ability to stream for free matches from important tournaments.
The Disney+Hotstar mobile app is going to get a lot more user-friendly in the near future in an effort to fulfil Disney+Hotstar’s mission of making cricket more accessible to all fans. The official letter claims that Disney+Hotstar would ensure that fans may enjoy continuous access to live streaming of matches.
Disney+Hotstar is the current holder of the broadcasting rights for all domestic matches and ICC competitions involving the Indian cricket team. This announcement made on June 9 is sure to bring smiles to the faces of millions of users all throughout India. The company has stated that one of its goals is to broaden its ecosystem while also providing consumers with an amazing experience on a constant basis.
Although there is no information available at this time regarding free viewing on the TV app, taking into consideration the vast number of TV stations that are covered by the Star Sports Network, it appears doubtful that such viewing will be possible. Despite this, mobile users may rest confident that they will be granted the opportunity to watch matches at no cost to themselves.
The organisation of the Asia Cup 2023 has not yet been completed, although the tournament is planned to take place in September of 2023 at the earliest. After this competition, India will be in charge of hosting the ODI World Cup at the conclusion of 2023. There will be a total of ten teams competing in this year’s World Cup, eight of which have already been guaranteed direct qualifying. One of these teams is India, who will serve as the host nation. The final two teams will compete in the qualifying stages, which will begin this month in Zimbabwe. If they are successful, they will earn a ticket in the tournament. In addition to these teams, West Indies and Sri Lanka will be contending for a spot in the qualifying tournament.
