How to watch 2019 WBBL T20 cricket matches online: TV guide
Don't miss a single ball of the 2019 WBBL. All games are available to watch live or on demand.
Now that the Australian weather is warming up, the summer of cricket is about to move up a gear too. The Rebel WBBL is the premier women's domestic T20 competition and begins on 18 October. This will be the first time ever the T20 tournament is a standalone event running separately from the men's BBL.
The summer of cricket has already begun with the Marsh One-Day Cup. The WBBL will only add more to the cricket calendar for fans to watch.
Last year Sydney Sixers fell just short of winning a third consecutive title. The Brisbane Heat managed to pull off the upset and win the franchise's first WBBL title.
In this year's edition it's hard to write off superstar Ellyse Perry and the Sixers again. Also look for the Hobart Hurricanes to be big improvers after adding several new talents.

How to watch the 2019 WBBL
Viewers will have several options when it comes to watching the WBBL this season. Only one broadcaster, Kayo Sports, will broadcast every single WBBL|05 match live and on demand.
The Seven Network and Fox Cricket will have 23 matches of the competition. The other 36 games will be streamed on the Cricket Network and the Cricket Australia Live app.
How to watch WBBL|05 on Kayo Sports (recommended)
As we've said Kayo is the only way you can see all WBBL matches live, but what else does Kayo have going for it? Kayo has over 50 sports and several special features. SplitView allows you to watch four sports at once, which is ideal considering how many sports often overlap.
Then there's Interactive Stats, Key Moments Timeline and Kayo Minis, which makes catching up easy. You can also watch from a bunch of digital devices. There's an app you can download on iOS and Android devices.
You can watch Kayo on your own TV through Apple TV, Chromecast, Android TV and Telstra TV. Otherwise you can stream straight from the website to your Mac or PC. You can jump straight into Kayo with a 14-day free trial.
After your free trial period is complete you can continue on with a subscription, which comes in two forms. There's the Basic subscription for $25/month or the Premium subscription for $35/month. The subscriptions let you stream from either two devices or three devices respectively.

How to watch WBBL on Foxtel IQ
Existing subscribers only need to add the Sport pack for $25/month. If you're a new customer there are a few hoops to jump through first. It's mandatory you have the Foxtel Plus pack which has a mix of Pop, Drama and Lifestyle channels for $49/month.
Foxtel IQ is also the only way to watch sports programming in 4K. It must be noted though, Foxtel hasn't yet confirmed if WBBL matches will be broadcast in 4K.
If you do all of that though you'll be up for $74/month. There's also an installation process for the set-top box and satellite that will incur a fee unless you can score a sign-up deal. Subscribers can also stream via the Foxtel GO app.
How to stream WBBL on Foxtel Now
Another way to watch the FOX CRICKET channel is with Foxtel Now. Foxtel Now streams programs in HD via the Internet. Like Foxtel IQ you can't just subscribe to the Sport pack for $29/month.
The base Essentials pack is $25/month. So at $54/month this isn't the worst option for those wanting more than just sports programming. Also like Foxtel IQ users can watch from the Foxtel GO app.
To watch on Foxtel Now you can stream directly from the website on a PC or Mac. There are also options to stream from a Foxtel Now box, Telstra TV, PS4, Airplay and Chromecast. New users are offered a 10-day free trial.
How to watch WBBL|05 on Seven Network
This is the second year of the Seven Network's six-year cricket deal. For the WBBL you'll need to check your local guides as viewing varies state by state. Matches will be shown on TV through either Channel 7 or 7 Mate.
How to stream WBBL on Cricket Network
Streaming via Cricket Network is free, you just have to sign up for a Cricket ID. There are a few drawbacks though, as users can only stream WBBL contests from a laptop or desktop. There's also no support for viewing from anywhere else. Cricket Network holds the exclusive rights to the Marsh Sheffield Shield too.
