Afghan sports channels you can watch live
Solh Sports is the Afghan channel dedicated to sport. It broadcasts from Kabul in Dari and Pashto with live coverage, match broadcasts, sports news and highlight programmes. It is the first place to look when you want Afghan sport on right now.
Afghanistan's general and news channels also cover sport. Bulletins on TOLOnews, Ariana TV and Amu TV report results, team news and reactions after big matches, and the national broadcaster RTA is also available live. See the full live TV list for every channel.
How to watch Afghanistan cricket matches
Afghanistan became a full member of the International Cricket Council in 2017 and reached the semi-final of the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. Its matches now draw huge audiences, which is why the TV rights matter: the channel that shows a match depends on who bought the rights for that series or tournament, and it is often a different channel each time.
Before a match, check the Afghanistan Cricket Board's official announcements for the broadcaster, then open that channel here. For ICC tournaments such as the World Cup and Champions Trophy, each country has its own official broadcaster, so the match may only be available on that service where you live. Domestic competitions, such as the Shpageeza Cricket League, are usually shown by Afghan channels.
Watching Afghan sport from abroad
Afghan channels' regular programmes stream to viewers worldwide, which makes them a good way to follow sports news and highlights from Germany, the USA, Turkey or anywhere else. Live international matches are different: broadcasters often black out or replace their web stream during a match because their rights only cover certain countries.
If a stream stops at kick-off or the first ball, that is a rights restriction, not a fault on your side. Our stream troubleshooting guide explains how to tell a blackout from a connection problem, and watching Afghan TV abroad covers the rest.
