With multiple streaming options, you can easily watch T20 World Cup 2021 live on your iPhone or iPad. Here’s how.
As for predictions, Australia, England, India, Pakistan, and New Zealand look like strong contenders for the knockout games. Only four teams will reach for the semi-finals though. However, as they always say in Cricket, you can’t say anything till the last game in the group stages.

Watch T20 World Cup Live on Your iPhone in the US
In the US, both ESPN and Willow TV have official rights to stream the T20 World Cup 2021. If you are a cable user, you can always subscribe to these channels and call it a day. But what about streaming on iPhone? Let’s discuss that.
1. ESPN+
If you are a die-hard sports fan, ESPN+ is a must-have service for you. The service is home to many popular leagues such as F1, NFL, NHL, European football leagues, UFC, Boxing fights, and of course, the T20 World Cup.
The service is available on all devices including Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, Apple TV, Roku, Android TV, and Amazon Fire TV Stick.
Do note that ESPN+ is a subscription service and it won’t carry live ESPN channels. The service is priced at $6.99 a month or $69.99 a year. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have any free trial, so you cannot check the content or streaming quality before paying for the service.

2. Sling TV
Sling TV is another ideal option for cord-cutters out there. The service offers over 50+ live TV channels on every device you can think of. To watch T20 World Cup live, you need to subscribe to Sling TV’s Willow Cricket plan that carries a Willow TV channel to stream T20 matches.
First-time users can pay $10 instead of $35 per month for the Sling package. On top of that, you need to add Willow Cricket add-on to enable the Willow TV channel on Sling
Sling TV subscription comes with 50 hours of DBR storage, and well-known TV channels such as TNT, CNN, ESPN, FOX Sports, and more.

3. Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV package at $72.99 per month subscription carries both the Disney+ and ESPN+ bundles. You can watch 75+ live TV channels, Hulu Originals, as well as TV shows and movies from Disney+ on the Hulu app on iPhone.
We won’t recommend Hulu + Live TV just to watch T20 World Cup live on iPhone. At $64.99, it’s expensive than the standalone ESPN+ and Sling TV bundle. You should only go with Hulu + Live TV if you are planning to cut the cord at home and watch all those live channels and Disney+ content at your fingertips.

Disney’s Hotstar streaming service carries the license to air the T20 World Cup in India — one of the biggest markets for Cricket.
Hotstar offers two types of subscription plans. With a ₹499/year VIP plan, you can watch sports content and regional TV shows and movies. Move to ₹1499 yearly plan, Hotstar unlocks all the Disney+ content, American TV shows, HBO content, and more. At ₹1499, it’s a bargain. But we do hope Hotstar improves the streaming quality in the future.
Aside from T20 World Cup, you also get to enjoy popular TV shows such as Game of Thrones, Billions, The Americans, and more. The sports content includes Vivo IPL, Wimbledon, F1 matches, highlights to American football, and more.
