England’s Women’s T20 World Cup final against Australia has been handed a major UK audience boost, with the Lord’s showpiece available free through Sky Sports.
The ECB has confirmed that Sunday’s final will be shown from 2.30pm on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Cricket, Sky Mix on Freeview and Sky Sports Mix. Supporters can also watch free via the Sky Sports App with a Sky iD, without needing a subscription.
That matters because this is no ordinary listing update. England and Australia meet at Lord’s on Sunday 5 July, with first ball at 3.30pm local time, and Cricket Australia’s match preview frames it as a final between the tournament’s two unbeaten sides.

Free access sharpens final pressure
Sky had already announced that the final would be free-to-air on Sky Mix, while the Sky Sports App carries the semi-finals and final without subscription. The wider access should push the final beyond the committed cricket audience and into the casual sports window.
For England, that raises the stakes around Nat Sciver-Brunt’s side after the captain’s semi-final intervention. ReadCricket has already assessed how Sciver-Brunt’s rescue act changes Australia’s planning, while the venue context is equally pointed: England’s Lord’s T20I record gives the hosts a rare historical counterweight against Australia’s deeper finals pedigree.
BBC Sport will also carry ball-by-ball radio coverage through BBC Sounds, Radio 5 Sports Extra and the BBC Sport platforms. The broadcast footprint is now part of the story: a home final, free access, and England’s clearest chance to turn a full Lord’s occasion into a national cricket moment.
