The SA20 has announced another blockbuster broadcast deal.
The new T20 league has signed a five-year contract with Sky Sports that will bring it to an even bigger audience.
“We’re delighted to extend the coverage of SA20 to Sky Sports’ extensive fan base. This is a landmark deal which will grow our global footprint ahead of our launch on 10 January,” league commissioner Graeme Smith said.
The tournament will last four weeks, involve 33 matches and six franchises that will be broadcast across Sky Sports Cricket channels.
The field of 102 players includes some truly world class talent, such as England’s World Cup-winning captain Jos Buttler and the most expensive IPL player Sam Curran.

“We are thrilled to add the SA20 to our portfolio of cricket rights. We believe it will be a terrific competition with some of the best English players involved,” director of cricket at Sky Sports Bryan Henderson said.
Sky Sports will also broadcast the three England ODIs against the Proteas taking place in South Africa on the 27 and 29 January, and 1 February.
