The deal gives ESPN exclusive English and Spanish-language rights to a total of 25 matches in the US. ESPN and ESPN Deportes (Spanish) will each televise 15 matches per year while OTT streaming service ESPN+ will exclusively show up to 10 games.

ESPN platforms will also cover the Women’s International Champions Cup and the International Champions Cup Futures tournament, which features young players.

The ICC schedule for this summer’s matches in the US and Far East will be announced later this month.
