Sky Sports and the Pakistan Cricket Board's international media rightsholders, Trans Group have agreed a deal to broadcast all matches from England’s ODI tri-series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka this October, live on Sky Sports and NOW in the UK & Ireland.
Harry Brook’s England side will face both Pakistan and Sri Lanka twice in Pakistan, with the series culminating in the final at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on 31 October.
The tri-series begins on 18 October, when Pakistan face Sri Lanka at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, with England opening against the hosts on 20 October.
Full schedule:
- 18 October – Pakistan v Sri Lanka, Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium

The agreement further strengthens Sky Sports’ position as the home of cricket, with Sky broadcasting all home England Men’s and Women’s international and domestic cricket, alongside England’s tour of South Africa this winter and the Men’s Ashes on home soil next summer.
The deal adds to Sky’s already unrivalled portfolio in the UK and Ireland with more top-quality sport than anywhere else, with most sport rights renewed until near the end of the decade. That includes 1,500 games from the Premier League, WSL, EFL and SPFL, exclusive live coverage from every Formula 1 race weekend until the end of 2034, and every shot from the golf Majors.
All matches from the tri-series in Pakistan will be live on Sky Sports and NOW.
