How to Watch ILT20 Season 5

Confirmed Season 5 rights

Television and streaming are confirmed in two countries only. India has Zee TV and ZEE5; Afghanistan has ATN, with exclusive television and digital rights. Every other country on this page is still to be announced, and no Season 5 deal has been confirmed for it.

Watching in India

Zee TV channels carry the television broadcast and the ZEE5 app carries streaming. Zee renewed its ILT20 deal for Season 5 in April 2026. Night games start at 8:00 pm IST and afternoon games at 3:30 pm IST. Before paying, confirm that the product you are buying explicitly lists ILT20 Season 5, and check the devices it covers.

Watching in Afghanistan

ATN holds exclusive television and digital rights for Season 5. Check ATN's own listing for the match schedule and the package that carries the games.

Watching elsewhere

No Season 5 deal has been confirmed for Pakistan, the United Kingdom, the United States or the UAE. Night games are 7:30 pm PKT in Pakistan, 2:30 pm GMT in the UK and 9:30 am US Eastern in the USA; afternoon games are 3:00 pm PKT, 10:00 am GMT and 5:00 am US Eastern. If your country is blank, the honest instruction is to wait for the rights holder, and to trust no seller the league has not named. The league's own updates stay on ilt20.ae.

Match timings and fixture

Season 5 runs from 21 November to 20 December 2026, with 34 matches in all. The tournament opens on 21 November with Desert Vipers against MI Emirates in Dubai at 6:30 pm GST. The playoffs are Qualifier 1 in Abu Dhabi on 16 December, the Eliminator in Dubai on 17 December, Qualifier 2 in Sharjah on 18 December, and the final in Dubai on 20 December. See the full schedule for every pairing.

Night games: 6:30 pm GST. Afternoon games: 2:00 pm GST. Switch the buttons and the figures move together.

Streaming and broadcast guides

While rights are confirmed, use the live score page for match status and the schedule page for every fixture and start time. Season 4 broadcaster lists are not Season 5 rights: a channel that carried an earlier season is not confirmed for Season 5 unless it appears in the confirmed table above.

Tickets

Tickets went on sale on 17 October 2026 through Platinumlist, the official ticketing seller. Prices, the 10-ticket limit per match day and box-office dates are on the tickets page.

Before subscribing

Confirm that the product explicitly includes ILT20 Season 5. Check access for your country, supported devices and simultaneous-stream limits. Review the actual pass price, renewal terms and refund policy on the provider's listing. Confirm the match time using the final fixture list. If your country is blank, the honest instruction is to wait for the rights holder.

TV rights, streaming rights and access

Television and streaming are separate packages. A television subscription does not by itself confirm app access, and a streaming subscription does not by itself confirm that ILT20 Season 5 is in the package. Before purchase, check the provider's ILT20 event listing for country access, supported devices and the actual package terms. If a match is missing from the programme guide, confirm it with the provider before paying for a different service.
