The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 has created history, becoming the most-watched edition of the tournament in its storied history. The milestone was revealed by International Cricket Council (ICC) Chairman Jay Shah in a post on social media on Wednesday.
“The journey of the @ICC #T20WorldCup 2026 began with the ambition to make it the most global and accessible cricket event ever. I am humbled that viewership for the event in India has crossed 500 million, the highest ever for any T20 World Cup in history. It was also heartening to see concurrent viewers @JioHotstar hit a peak of 60.5 million. With Knock-out matches for the tournament starting tonight, we hope that the immeasurable love our events receive from Indian fans helps break more records,” Jay Shah posted on X.
