Minor League Cricket (MiLC) announced this week that all 197 matches of the 2022 season will be available to watch live, 99 of which boast multi-camera broadcasts featuring commentary. The games will be shown across YouTube, Facebook and Willow TV platforms. In addition, the league announced that “premium productions” for more that 35 regular season games will feature eight cameras, providing “the best-ever coverage of a domestic cricket competition in the United States.”
Willow TV’s linear channels will also feature select premium broadcasts, giving MiLC regular season matches television coverage across the USA for the very first time.
All 197 games will be available for free on the MLC Network YouTube page, and a “Match of the Week” will be featured weekly on Facebook’s Cricket Community page.
Minor League Cricket Tournament Director, Justin Gaele was quoted in the announcement, saying, “We’re delighted to offer enhanced coverage of the Toyota Minor League Cricket Championship presented by Sunoco this summer, with every match available for fans to watch live. We’re making a significant investment to provide premium broadcasts and showcase the best domestic cricket championship in the country.”
“We’re excited to see our 26 teams begin play this weekend and compete for the largest prize in American cricket over 10 weeks of exciting T20 action nationwide.”
