In a massive testament to the growth of cricket in the USA, and the rising interest among the audience, Willow by Cricbuzz and the YES Network have struck a deal to televise and stream seven Major League Cricket matches featuring the defending champions MI New York in the upcoming 2024 season. 

These matches will be available on both the YES television network and the YES App, as well on Willow by Cricbuzz’s TV network and its streaming platform. This partnership will bring the exhilarating MLC action to YES’ coverage territory of New York State, Connecticut, northeastern Pennsylvania and north and central New Jersey, starting with the Friday, July 5 season-opener pitting MI New York against the 2023 runners-up Seattle Orcas. 

“The recent triumph of the U.S. cricket team over Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup has ignited a nationwide cricket frenzy,” said Todd Myers, COO of Willow by Cricbuzz. “In a strategic move to leverage this surge in interest, Willow by Cricbuzz and the YES Network have joined forces. This alliance will not only showcase the MLC and MI New York on a grand scale but also enhance the sport's visibility and accessibility. This transformative collaboration is poised to propel cricket’s skyrocketing popularity across the U.S. and invigorate a thriving fan base.”

“We are excited to welcome Major League Cricket and defending champion MI New York to the YES Network,” said Jon Litner, CEO, YES Network.  “As sports fans around the world currently enjoy the ICC T20 World Cup, YES is delighted to partner with Willow by Cricbuzz to capitalize on the growing interest in the sport of cricket in the New York area by showcasing MI New York to sports fans throughout our territory.”
