How to Watch Cricket World Cup 2019 Online Without Cable: Live Stream from Anywhere
Last updated July 6, 2021
Cricket is not really among the most popular sports in the world, but it certainly attracts a lot of attention from all corners of the world. So, if you're a fan and want to watch the Cricket World Cup of 2019 online, we're going to step in and help you out.
The 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup is on its 12th edition and it has already started on Thursday, May 30th. The whole event will last until July 14th, so you've got plenty of time to watch it all. The Cricket World Cup takes place this year in England and Wales, with the 48 matches getting split between the two territories.
There are ten teams fighting for the cup, namely Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies. Only the four teams with the most points advance to the semi-finals which are scheduled for July 9th and 11th, while the final will take place on July 14th.
Here is the schedule with all the games that are set to happen as of now. We'll make sure to update as the event goes on.
If you want to watch the event in the US, you've got limited options because the only channel that broadcasts the whole thing in North America is Willow TV. This means that you've got a few options to watch it all and we'll tell you all about it in just a little bit.
How to Watch Cricket World Cup 2019 Online?
Watching content online is great and it gives us a ton of freedom to watch content wherever you may go. But that freedom is somewhat limited by the fact that you can't watch abroad. In fact, all live TV platforms and streaming services are geoblocked, so you can't access them from abroad unless, for some services, they're also open in a specific market. Under these circumstances, you need to get creative. The first thing you need to know is that these platforms know your location by reading your IP address. Thankfully, IPs are super easy to change so we suggest looking into subscribing to a VPN service to make things even easier. Here's what you need to do.
- Start by figuring out which VPN to subscribe to. We've reviewed dozens of these tools over the years and we can recommend you go for ExpressVPN, which is one of the best tools of this kind, with thousands of servers and tight security features. So go ahead and visit ExpressVPN's website and subscribing to the service.
- Then, you need to download and install the app on your devices. Follow up by launching the app and logging into your account.
- Once that's done you can go looking for a US-based server to connect to - there are dozens of those so pick whichever one you want.
- Once the connection is established, you can load the live TV platform you chose to watch the Cricket World Cup 2019 on such as Sling TV. Switch to the right channel and have fun watching the teams face each other this month.
How to Watch Cricket World Cup 2019 Without Cable?
We already use the Internet to watch shows and movies, to connect with friends, to order food or look up recipes, laugh and dance, and so on, so it makes sense to also watch TV over the Internet. Live TV platforms are cheaper than cable is and you can cancel your subscription anytime you feel like it since there is no contract to tie you down. Let's see what options you have to watch the Cricket World Cup 2019 live online.
1. Sling TV
Topping our list we have Sling TV, which is actually the only live TV platform to feature Willow TV on its list of channels. The platform features three bundles to pick between - Orange ($15/mo), Blue ($15/mo), and Orange + Blue ($25/mo). You can then add loads of channel packs and premium networks. In fact, you're going to need to do that because Willow TV is located in the International area and costs $5 per month.
You'll find that Sling TV also treats cloud DVR as an add-on and you can get access to enough space to record 50 hours of video for $5 per month. When it comes to how many devices you can watch content on, Sling TV gives Orange subscribers only one screen to watch on, while Blue subscribers get three simultaneous streams. Those who chose the Orange + Blue bundle can watch on four screens simultaneously. Make sure to check our Sling TV review for more details on what the service has to offer.
2. Willow TV
Willow TV is also the other option of watching the Cricket World Cup 2019. The network offers a way to subscribe directly to them so you can enjoy live content wherever you may go. The subscription costs $9.99 per month.
There's also the option of signing in with a TV provider credentials if you have yet to cut the cord, as they offer Spectrum, Optimum, FiOS, Dish, and Xfinity as options. The network has apps for multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, Apple TV, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, Xbox One, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Chromecast, and Google TV, so you're more than covered if you want to watch. With Willow TV you can still log in if you're in Canada, UK, India, Pakistan, or Australia. If you're anywhere else, you'll need to go ahead and use a VPN, as described above.
