How to Watch the ICC T20 Men's Cricket World Cup 2026 in the USA with Sling TV

The ICC T20 Men's Cricket World Cup 2026 is starting on February 7 and runs through March 8, co-hosted across India and Sri Lanka. Here's how to catch all the action with Sling.

India isn’t entering the ICC T20 Men's Cricket World Cup 2026 with “hopes” this time. They’re entering as the reigning champions, which changes the tone around every match they play. Defending a title in T20 cricket is never comfortable. The format is too short, the swings are too sharp, and a couple of bad overs can put you in a points-table scramble quickly. That’s why the first week matters more than people think.

If you’re watching from the U.S., there’s also the practical part. These games are happening in India and Sri Lanka, so a lot of big matches will land in the morning for U.S. time zones. The best way to enjoy that is to plan ahead instead of hunting for a stream at the toss. You can stream the tournament live on Willow HD with Sling.

India’s Big Games in the ICC T20 Men's Cricket World Cup 2025

India’s Opener vs USA

This is the one that sets your rhythm for the month. India begins their title defense with a night match in Mumbai against the United States on opening day.

It’s a clean setup for U.S. viewers. It’s early, but it’s not a midnight situation. And it’s exactly the kind of match you want to watch live because it tells you whether India looks settled or whether the title-defense pressure is already creeping in.

Then the Calendar Turns: India vs Pakistan

Once the opener is done, the fixture everyone builds a day around arrives quickly. And yes, it’s confirmed. India vs Pakistan is scheduled for February 15 in Colombo at R. Premadasa Stadium. The ICC schedule has it as a night game locally, which again becomes a morning watch in the U.S.

This matchup always carries its own weight, but in a World Cup group stage, it’s also tactical. Points matter. Net run rate matters. And the way a team handles pressure in this game often tells you what they’ll look like later in the tournament when the knockout stakes show up.

Also, there’s something about the morning start in the U.S. that actually works. You’re not squeezing it into a late-night window and hoping you stay awake through the middle overs. You can watch it properly, start to finish, without turning it into a sleep battle.
