Australia will look to finish the home summer on a high when Test cricket heads to Canberra for the first time as they take on Sri Lanka in the second Test. This is The Roar‘s guide to streaming the match online and watching it on TV.
The match is scheduled to be begin at 10:30am (AEDT) on Friday, February 1, with Manuka Oval in the nation’s capital the venue.
Manuka Oval becomes Australia’s 11th Test venue, after the new Perth Stadium became number ten earlier this summer.
Australia took the first Test under lights at the Gabba inside three days, commanding the match from start to finish, so Sri Lanka will need to make major improvements if they are to be competitive this time around, although conditions will be completely different.
The match, like every other Test match over the course of the summer, will be available through both Foxtel and free to air TV.
The Seven Network are the official FTA broadcaster of the match, and will begin their coverage at 9:30am (AEDT) on each match day.
Fox Sports, however, are probably the go-to option for TV coverage. They have the rights to every televised match played on Australian soil this year and will also begin their coverage at 9:30am (AEDT) each day.
To tune in on Fox Sports, you will need to be holding a valid Foxtel TV subscription, complete with the sports package.
If you would instead prefer to live stream the action online, you will need to do so through the Fox Cricket’s coverage, because they hold the digital rights this summer.
There are three ways to tune into the coverage, with the best of those being Kayo Sports, which starts at $25 per month and allows you to stream all of Foxtel’s sports channels.
The other pair of options are to use the Foxtel App or Foxtel Now.
Here at The Roar, we will be covering the match from start to finish with a live blog of each day’s play, as well as highlights of all the big moments so that you won’t miss a moment of the action.
