JioStar wins exclusive India broadcast rights for The Hundred
JioStar just scored the exclusive rights to broadcast The Hundred cricket tournament in India.
All 68 matches, covering both men's and women's games, will air on Star Sports and will stream on JioHotstar, starting July 21, 2026.
The tournament is run by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), so expect some top-tier action.
JioStar aims to boost sports lineup
This move is a big step for JioStar as it looks to boost its sports lineup and attract more young cricket fans, especially with competition heating up among broadcasters.
By taking over from Sony Pictures Networks India, JioStar is aiming to make The Hundred a go-to event for viewers across TV and streaming platforms.
Plus, with men's and women's teams playing fast-paced 100-ball matches all the way to the finals at Lord's on August 16, there's plenty of excitement ahead.
