Frequently asked questions

Where can I watch IPL 2026 legally in India?
Star Sports holds the IPL 2026 television rights in India, with JioHotstar carrying the digital stream. The combined Disney–Reliance JV unified IPL distribution from the 2024 season onwards, so a single JioHotstar subscription covers mobile, smart-TV and connected-device streaming. Star Sports broadcasts the linear feed across Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Bengali language tracks.
Why is the IPL blacked out in Pakistan?
PEMRA (the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority) maintains a long-standing blackout on IPL broadcasts following bilateral tensions. No licensed Pakistani channel carries IPL — viewers inside Pakistan can only watch via licensed platforms in other markets (which generally requires a paid subscription in that market). CricHD Guide does not advise on circumventing the blackout; we list the legal carriers for completeness.
Who broadcasts India tours and Test cricket in India?
India home tours (Test, ODI, T20I) are on the BCCI broadcast contract held by Star Sports + JioHotstar through 2027/28. DD Sports retains free-to-air rights for selected men’s senior India home matches under government FTA mandates, which means a slice of every India home series remains accessible on linear TV without a subscription.
What is CricHD Guide and is it the same as crichd.top?
CricHD Guide is an independent editorial reference site — we are not affiliated with crichd.top, crichd.is or any of the proxy domains historically associated with the CricHD brand. Those unauthorised streaming sites have rotated domains for years and remain a target of rights-holder takedown action. This site exists to redirect search demand for the brand toward the licensed Indian and Pakistani broadcasters that hold cricket rights legitimately. Copyright queries: [email protected].
