REPUBLIC BANK CPL LIVE STREAM VIEWERSHIP MORE THAN DOUBLES IN 2026 SEASON

The Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) has recorded an increase in live stream viewership of more than 100 per cent for the 2026 season, a surge driven primarily by fans watching matches on YouTube and Facebook in India.

The growth reflects a rapidly expanding audience for the tournament, where fans have increasingly turned to CPL's live streams on YouTube and Facebook to follow the action from the Caribbean. The trend has been evident throughout the current season and marks a significant milestone in the league's ongoing digital expansion.

The Republic Bank CPL has built its reputation as one of the world's premier T20 leagues on the strength of its accessibility to fans, and this season's streaming numbers underline the tournament's growing global appeal. The league's digital platforms remain central to bringing the thrilling, electrifying cricket of the Caribbean to audiences wherever they are in the world.

Pete Russell, Republic Bank CPL CEO, said: “To see live stream viewership more than double this season, with such strong growth coming from our fans in India, speaks to the growing global appeal of this tournament. The ‘Biggest Party in Sport’ is now reaching more fans than ever before, and we remain committed to bringing them closer to the action, wherever they are watching from. Our expectation is that this growth will continue over the coming weeks.”

As the Republic Bank CPL continues through its 2026 season, the league remains focused on growing its global footprint and deepening its connection with cricket fans across the Caribbean and around the world, further cementing its status as one of the world's premier T20 leagues.
