But in the era of the internet and high-speed data transmission, we have a number of options to go with if we look forward to watching IPL on television. Here, we list down the top ways to watch IPL on TV.

TV Broadcasters

Of course, the most popular way to watch IPL on your TV is through broadcasting channels. These are the channels that will officially telecast all the matches of IPL live across the world. So, set your schedule and get your snacks to watch your favourite IPL matches and cheer up for great boundary shots. For the upcoming IPL 2023 season, Star Sports, Fox Sports, Sky Sports Cricket, Willow TV, and SuperSport are some of the officially selected broadcasting TV channels around the world. In India, you can get Airtel DTH plans if you have an Airtel DTH set top box at home to watch IPL live stress-free.

Streaming Platforms

Now when you have ultra-speed internet in the era of 5G, there are dozens of streaming platforms that you use on daily basis for entertainment. For IPL 2023, you can log into Disney+ Hotstar on your TV (provided you have a smart TV or an android set up box at home) to watch your favourite matches or your favourite player knocking shots out of the stadium. This season, IPL will also be streamed on the Jio Cinema app in 4K quality for free.

Cable TV

If you have a cable TV connection, then you can also enjoy watching IPL on your television. However, you must have that broadcasting channel on your television. For the upcoming season, Star Sports make for the official broadcasters and hence, you would need your cable TV operator to get the channel for you.
