The Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL), in partnership with Rush Sports, has announced the launch of Rush Live & Louder, a new dedicated television channel that will become the Home of Cricket for the Caribbean. This channel will feature this year’s Men’s and Women’s CPL matches as well as a wide range of international cricket acquired from leading cricket boards around the world. Rush Live & Louder marks the transformation of CPL from a seasonal tournament into a year-round cricket media platform, creating a permanent home for cricket fans throughout the Caribbean
Launching on 1 July 2026, and available across major cable and television networks throughout the region, Rush Live & Louder will provide cricket fans with year-round access to live matches, highlights, original programming, classic encounters and exclusive content from some of the world’s leading cricket competitions.
The channel represents a landmark moment in cricket broadcasting and is among the first dedicated linear television channel launched by a cricket league anywhere in the world. Building on the success of CPL’s social media channels, which have become a year-round destination for cricket fans, the league is now taking the next step in its evolution by moving beyond content creation and rights ownership to become a distributor and curator of premium cricket content from around the world.
Caribbean fans can look forward to comprehensive coverage of the 2026 Republic Bank CPL season beginning on 7 August, alongside year-round international cricket programming. In addition to live cricket, Rush Live & Louder will feature original talk shows, magazine programmes, documentaries and classic matches from CPL and other major competitions.
Pete Russell, Caribbean Premier League CEO , said:
“Rush Live & Louder is a huge moment for CPL, for Rush Sports and for cricket in the Caribbean. We have always wanted to give Caribbean fans more cricket, more often, and this channel allows us to do exactly that. CPL will remain at the heart of the offering, but fans will now be able to watch live cricket from around the world throughout the year. We are creating a true home of cricket for the Caribbean.”
Michael Look Tong, CEO of CPSL, operators of Rush Sports, said:
“Rush Live & Louder is an ambitious and innovative project that reflects the passion Caribbean audiences have for cricket. By combining CPL’s world-class cricket properties with premium international rights and original programming, we are creating a channel that will serve cricket fans every day of the year. We believe this is a significant step forward not just for cricket broadcasting, but for sports media more broadly.”
Rush Live & Louder represents a significant strategic milestone for both partners, establishing a new model in which a cricket league not only creates content and owns rights, but also directly distributes its content while acquiring rights from leading cricket competitions around the world.
The launch demonstrates CPL’s ambition to build a year-round cricket ecosystem for fans across the Caribbean. While the CPL tournament remains one of the region’s premier sporting events, Rush Live & Louder will ensure that Caribbean cricket fans have access to world-class cricket content every month of the year.
