Channel 4 reaches agreement with Sky to broadcast coverage of the T20 World Cup final on Sunday.

Channel 4 has reached an agreement with Sky enabling the broadcaster to show the T20 World Cup final free-to-air on Sunday.

Coverage of the match, which will see England take on India in Melbourne, begins at 7am on Sky Sports Cricket, with Ian Ward presenting alongside Nasser Hussain, Michael Atherton and Eoin Morgan.

Channel 4 will simulcast Sky's coverage across the UK for free, while the match will also be available on the Sky Showcase and Sky Sports Main Event channels.

"We know the importance of this game, so we are pleased to be able to share this great sporting moment with our whole nation thanks to our strong relationship with Channel 4," said Sky Sports MD Jonathan Licht. "Whether you're supporting England or Pakistan, this will be one to remember."

Ian Katz, chief content officer at C4, added: "We are thrilled that Channel 4 and Sky have struck this deal to make another great national sporting moment available on free to air television to audiences across the UK.

"As the days draw in, some thrilling international cricket from the southern hemisphere should offer some welcome cheer."

Channel 4 has previously teamed up with Sky to broadcast the crunch Formula 1 finale last year, as well as England's win in the final of the 2019 Cricket World Cup.
