2023 should be declared as the year dedicated to cricket. After enjoying the privilege of watching the IPL for free this year, cricket enthusiasts are in for yet another delightful surprise in the upcoming cricket season. Disney+Hotstar is set to stream the Asia Cup and Men’s Cricket World Cup on its mobile app, and the best part is that these matches will be freely available to all mobile users. Last Friday, the OTT platform made this announcement, and needless to say, we couldn’t be happier.
Jio Cinema Setting the Benchmark
The IPL has consistently been one of the most sought-after online content for viewers. However, this year, the telecast rights for the IPL were awarded to Jio Cinema, and the streaming service offered free access to IPL matches for all users. This move was widely appreciated by cricket fans across the country. Furthermore, Jio recently declared that they will continue to provide free access to the IPL even in the future.
Schedule for Asia Cup and World Cup 2023
With the increasing trend in viewership, Disney+ Hotstar is following suit. Simply install the app, and you can enjoy both matches without any charges. The Asia Cup is scheduled to take place from September 2nd, 2023, to September 17th, 2023. As for the World Cup, mark your calendars from October 5th to November 19th of this year. Ensure that you set a reminder in advance for these highly anticipated games.
What Else You Can Watch?
In addition to cricket matches, Disney +Hotstar offers a wide range of content you can choose to stream. You can see movies, shows, animated films, web series and mini-series on the platform.
