Looking for a free Major League Cricket live stream? Every game is streaming for FREE on Jio Cinema in India. If you're an Indian away from home you can use a VPN to unblock the free stream from anywhere. MLC is on Kayo Sports in Australia, and Willow TV in the US. Full details on how to watch Major League Cricket live, wherever you are, just below. The inaugural Major League Cricket season is now underway!

Major League Cricket 2023: preview

The United States officially has its first professional franchise T20 cricket competition and, of course, it had to be called Major League Cricket. Whether or not it succeeds, it's an undeniably intriguing development, and MLC has recruited aggressively, luring in big names such as Quinton de Kock, Jason Roy and Wanindu Hasaranga with lucrative contracts.

The inaugural MLC season features six teams, four of which are owned or part-owned by IPL franchises. Los Angeles Knight Riders, MI New York and Texas Super Kings are all self-evident, then there's the Delhi Capitals-affiliated Seattle Orcas. San Francisco Unicorns and Washington Freedom are the two outliers.

Each team will face off once, after which the top four will qualify for the playoffs. The top two seeds will play a Qualifier, with the winner booking a spot in the MLC final on July 31. The second seed will then play the winner of the Eliminator between the third and fourth seeds.

With Anrich Nortje, Martin Guptill, Aaron Finch and Trent Boult also involved, the MLC certainly isn't short of star-power. The feeling is that it's come at the near-total expense of local talent, with only seven US-born players being selected at the Major League Cricket draft in March.

All games will be played at either Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, Texas, or Church Street Park in Morrisville, North Carolina. Read on, then, as we explain how to watch a Major League Cricket live stream online from wherever you are, including for FREE.

How to watch Major League Cricket from outside your country

Below we've got you covered with your official broadcasting options for more cricket-loving countries (and the US!), but if you're outside your country of residence - whether that's India, Australia or anywhere else - and try to start streaming Major League Cricket via your typical broadcasting service, you'll soon discover that you can't, as it's location restricted. But there is a way to tune in regardless.

By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it's back at home. That way you can enjoy your home coverage without having to find an illegal stream - assuming you comply with the broadcaster's fine print, of course - specifically its terms and conditions.
