ST. JOHN’S, An­tigua – Crick­et West In­dies (CWI) has proud­ly an­nounced a ground­break­ing six-year me­dia rights part­ner­ship with ES­PN Caribbean, se­cur­ing ex­clu­sive broad­cast and dig­i­tal rights for all West In­dies Men’s and Women’s home in­ter­na­tion­al match­es, as well as the Men’s and Women’s CG Unit­ed Su­per50 Cup.

This part­ner­ship, run­ning from 2024 through 2030, ce­ments ES­PN Caribbean as the pri­ma­ry broad­cast­er for West In­dies crick­et in the re­gion.

CWI’s Act­ing CEO and Chief Op­er­at­ing Of­fi­cer, Lyn­ford In­ver­ary, high­light­ed the sig­nif­i­cance of the deal.

“This new six-year agree­ment with ES­PN Caribbean rep­re­sents the largest me­dia rights deal CWI has ever se­cured in the Caribbean. It un­der­scores the in­creas­ing com­mer­cial ap­peal of West In­dies crick­et and guar­an­tees fans across the re­gion con­tin­ued ac­cess to ex­ten­sive cov­er­age of our in­ter­na­tion­al se­ries and CG Unit­ed Su­per50 Cups. ES­PN is a val­ued part­ner, and this agree­ment will be in­stru­men­tal in help­ing CWI achieve its fi­nan­cial goals while broad­en­ing the reach and en­gage­ment of West In­dies crick­et.”

Scott Mc­Glone, ES­PN’s Se­nior Di­rec­tor of Pro­gram­ming and Ac­qui­si­tions, shared his en­thu­si­asm for the con­tin­ued col­lab­o­ra­tion.

“We’re ex­cit­ed to ex­tend our strong re­la­tion­ship with CWI through this new land­mark deal. ES­PN is com­mit­ted to serv­ing sports fans when­ev­er and wher­ev­er pos­si­ble, and there’s no bet­ter way to ful­fil that mis­sion than with a long-term part­ner­ship with CWI, an or­ga­ni­za­tion with a sto­ried sport­ing lega­cy both lo­cal­ly and glob­al­ly.”

In ad­di­tion to ex­clu­sive match cov­er­age, CWI re­tains the abil­i­ty to li­cense post-match high­lights for free-to-air and dig­i­tal plat­forms across the Caribbean, en­sur­ing that fans have ac­cess to even more con­tent.

This deal, fa­cil­i­tat­ed by Pitch In­ter­na­tion­al, CWI’s Me­dia Con­sul­tants, marks a sig­nif­i­cant step in CWI’s broad­er strat­e­gy to boost the glob­al pro­file of West In­dies crick­et and en­hance fan en­gage­ment across the Caribbean.
