Sky Sports to showcase bumper 24 hours of live women’s sport

• From Saturday morning, Sky Sports play host to elite sport from across the globe
• Sky Sports has made Sunday morning’s ICC Women’s World Cup Final between defending champions England and Australia free to air on Sky Sports YouTube and Pick
• A huge 24 hours of live women’s sporting action will also be in store for fans of football, golf, netball and boxing

Sports fans will be treated to a bumper 24 hours of women’s sport on Sky Sports with live action from across the world this weekend.

The headline event is early on Sunday morning (02:00) as cricket fans will be treated to the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Final in Christchurch as defending champions England take on six-time winners Australia. England thumped South Africa after a century from Danni Wyatt and returns of 6-36 for spinner Sophie Ecclestone - the best figures by a bowler in this World Cup.

Australia had earlier stormed into the Final after a crushing 157 run defeat of West Indies in the semi-final. Australia’s victory – their 37th in 38 ODI – came after a 91-ball century from Alyssa Healy to leave the Australians eyeing a seventh World Cup title.

Sky Sports will show the game on its dedicated Sky Sports Cricket World Cup channel and Sky Sports Main Event, as well as free to all audiences on the Sky Sports YouTube channel and Sky’s Pick channel in addition to being free for non-sports customers via Sky Showcase. For those struggling with the early morning timings, there will be a repeat of the match on Sky Sports Cricket World Cup from 10:30, while 60 minute highlights will be available On Demand very soon after the game.

Live boxing from the North-East sees Savannah Marshall take on Femke Hermans to defend her WBO middleweight title as the main event at the Newcastle Arena, in partnership with BOXXER. A win would take Marshall – who enters the ring with an unbeaten 11-0 record (9 KOs) – one step closer to securing an undisputed fight with her big rival Claressa Shields.

West Ham United Women take on Manchester City Women in the Barclays FA WSL from 11:30 on Saturday, with the Manchester club pushing for the final Champions League place in the league. Sky Sports is the primary broadcast partner for the Barclays Women's Super League, showing up to 35 games a season.

Golf fans have three different competitions to tune into, including the first major of the year in the form of the LPGA Tour: Chevron Championship at California’s Mission Hills Country Club. As well as the LPGA Tour, there is also Ladies European Tour golf in the South African Open and the Augusta National Women's Amateur live from Augusta National less than a week before The Masters gets underway.

Last year, Sky Sports announced a three-year extension of its existing rights deals for both the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and the Ladies European Tour (LET), with the extension of the LPGA deal meaning that Sky continues to be the home for all five women's golf majors until 2024.

Meanwhile, Netball from the Suncorp Super Netball League sees NSW Swifts take on Melbourne Vixens at 06:30 before Sunshine Coast Lightning face up against Queensland Firebirds in Australia’s elite competition. Sky recently secured a new rights deal in partnership with Netball Australia to show up to sixty live matches per season.

Jonathan Licht, Sky Sports Managing Director said: “This weekend is a bumper weekend of Women’s Sport on Sky Sports. We’ve made the cricket World Cup final available so everyone can watch it, and we have a wide range of great sport from golf to boxing available throughout the weekend for our viewers to enjoy.”
