How to watch Cricket live on the PlayStation 5

Short answer: yes. The PlayStation 5 handles Cricket streams through a streaming stick on another HDMI input, and Willow Cricket and Willow Xtra are in the Ultra 8K IPTV lineup.

How to watch

The PlayStation 5 decodes 4K, so 4K feeds play at full resolution on a 4K screen. A hard ball moving off the pitch at pace is the real test, and a 60fps feed handles it. You pay once for the plan length you choose; nothing renews on its own, and you have 7 days to ask for a refund.

Set up before the first ball

  • Choose a plan on the pricing page and order on WhatsApp; your server URL, username and password arrive in about 60 seconds.
  • Plug a Fire TV or Google TV stick into another HDMI input on the TV the PlayStation 5 uses.
  • Install TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro on the stick and sign in.
  • Use the TV remote, or HDMI-CEC, to flip between the console and the stick.
  • Open the Sports group and add Willow Cricket and Willow Xtra to favorites.

Before you begin

  • Player: a streaming stick on another HDMI input
  • Plan on about 10 Mbps for each HD stream and 25 Mbps for each 4K stream
  • Channels to favorite: Willow Cricket and Willow Xtra
  • Plan: from $10.42/month on the 12-month plan, or $24.99 for one month
  • Time: about five minutes, ideally the day before

PlayStation 5 settings for cricket

Consoles are not built for live IPTV, so the picture depends on the stick or app you use alongside. Whatever plays the stream, give it Ethernet for cricket.

When the picture misbehaves

  • Drop from the 4K to the HD version of the channel; it needs less than half the bandwidth.
  • Restart the player at a break in play; it clears most freezes in under a minute.
  • Run a speed test on the PlayStation 5. Under 25 Mbps, stick with HD for Cricket.

Getting more out of Cricket

  • Sessions that air while you are at work or asleep are what catch-up is for.
  • Event schedules shift, so check the guide on the day rather than a printed schedule.
  • Favorite every channel carrying the event so you can follow it from one list.
  • Use a wired connection for the moments you most want to see live.

FAQ

Questions people ask us

Not covered here? Send it on WhatsApp and a person on the support desk will answer, any hour of the day.

Can I watch Cricket on the PlayStation 5?

Yes. Use a streaming stick on another HDMI input, sign in with your Ultra 8K IPTV login, and open the sports channels. The console itself has no IPTV player, so the stick does the work; Plex with a home server is the slower-to-set-up alternative.

Which app should I use for Cricket on the PlayStation 5?

TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro, installed on the streaming stick rather than the console.

What if I miss the start of the match?

On channels with catch-up, go back in the guide and play it from the beginning. Catch-up reaches up to 7 days back.

Do I need cable or a sports add-on for Cricket?

No cable and no add-on. Every plan includes the full lineup, from $24.99 for one month or $125 for a year.
