The Tests are free on Channel 7 -
Australia v India First Test on Network Seven
Seven have enlisted the likes of presenter Mel McGlaughlin alongside former Australian greats Glen McGrath and Ricky Ponting to head their TV coverage, which is the only First Test free to air provider in Australia. Spread between their Seven TV channel (NSW, Victoria) and their regional multi-channel 7Mate (QLD, SA, WA,TAS), the network will be providing live coverage of all Tests between Australia and the Black Caps, including the Third Test which runs from January 3rd through January 7th, 2020.
Seven won the free to air broadcast rights for test cricket from the end of 2018 from Channel Nine. The network’s deal runs through to 2024 and will also include the next Ashes series. It should be noted that there will be multiple ad-breaks during play, and there is also no TV replays available for those who want to catch up later. Likewise, you cannot stream Australia vs New Zealand via the 7Plus online platform, as Foxtel/Kayo have secured exclusive digital rights. The Australia men’s international ODIs and T20s will also not be available on Seven, their deal is exclusive to the televising of Test cricket.
