Amazon Prime Video bag rights to stream New Zealand cricket in India

NEW DELHI: Over-the-top video streaming platform Amazon Prime Video on Tuesday announced its first foray into live sports in India with the acquisition of territory rights for New Zealand cricket through 2025-26. Under the multi-year deal between Amazon and the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) board, Prime Video will become the one-stop streaming destination for all international cricket matches to be played in New Zealand for both men’s and women’s cricket, across ODI, T20 and Tests starting late 2021.

“We are excited to add India’s most loved game—Cricket—to our content selection for our Prime Video customers, and we are thrilled to work with New Zealand Cricket on this endeavour as they have a strong, passionate and much-loved cricket team, and the cricketing rivalry between the two countries has been fantastic.
