Abu Dhabi T10 Expands Global Reach with JioStar Deal

Abu Dhabi T10 has secured a broadcast and streaming agreement with JioStar for the Indian subcontinent, bringing the UAE-based cricket competition to Star Sports and JioHotstar. Announced on 26th October, the agreement extends the tournament’s distribution into one of the sport’s largest viewing markets ahead of its ninth edition.

All 32 matches will be available across the two platforms from 7th to 20th November. Six teams will compete at Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, with the ten-over format providing a compact schedule of live cricket for television and streaming audiences.

The agreement follows Abu Dhabi Cricket and Sports Hub taking majority ownership and commercial control of Abu Dhabi T10 in May 2026. The organisation now oversees the competition as part of Abu Dhabi’s wider cricket and events activity, including international fixtures and other tournaments staged at Zayed Cricket Stadium.

Star Sports and JioHotstar provide the competition with television and digital distribution across India, giving viewers access to the full tournament through established broadcast and streaming services. The partnership also connects an Abu Dhabi-based sports property with a major international cricket audience.

The new agreement adds JioStar to Abu Dhabi T10’s distribution arrangements for the 2026 edition. With 32 matches scheduled across November, the tournament will again bring international cricket to Abu Dhabi while reaching audiences across the Indian subcontinent.
