Live cricket & football scores, and where to watch every match

Live scores and where to watch, in one place

MatchTick is a free live-score service for cricket and football. Pick any competition above to follow its live matches, upcoming fixtures and results — cricket scores update ball by ball and football scores minute by minute. But MatchTick answers the question most score sites skip: which official channel or streaming service is actually showing the match where you live. Follow live scores for the Indian Premier League, Pakistan Super League, Big Bash League and The Hundred in cricket, and the Premier League, UEFA Champions League and LaLiga in football, each paired with verified broadcaster listings for Pakistan, India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the UK, Australia and more.

How MatchTick compares to other live-score sites

Sites like FlashScore, LiveScore, Sofascore, Cricbuzz and ESPNcricinfo are excellent for live scores, ball-by-ball commentary and deep statistics, and MatchTick is not trying to replace your favourite scoreboard. What those sites rarely tell you clearly is where to watch a match on TV in your own country. MatchTick pairs the live score with a sourced, country-by-country broadcaster guide — Sky Sports and TNT Sports in the UK, JioStar in India, A Sports and PTV Sports in Pakistan, beIN Sports across the Gulf and Willow TV in the United States — and every listing is taken from the competition's or broadcaster's own official page, never guessed.

A safe, legal alternative to illegal streaming sites

Searches for a free sports stream usually lead to sites like StreamEast — shut down in 2025 by the anti-piracy group ACE — along with CrackStreams, Crichd and Total Sportek. These unofficial streaming sites are illegal in many countries and are known for aggressive pop-ups, phishing links and malware, and they vanish and reappear under new domains constantly. MatchTick takes the opposite approach: it never hosts, embeds or links to a single stream. Instead it points you to the legitimate, licensed broadcaster for your region, so you can watch the game without the malware, the fake “play” buttons or the legal risk. The live scores stay free — and watching stays legal.

Craxstream (also written Crax Stream or craxstreams) belongs to that same family. It advertises free live football, cricket and other sport, but it is an unlicensed piracy site that pays for itself with popunder and pop-up ads instead of a broadcast licence — which brings the usual trade-off: aggressive redirects, fake “play” buttons and a real chance of malware (security researchers have found that the overwhelming majority of illegal sports-streaming sites serve malicious content), the legal exposure of watching pirated sport, and a stream that can die mid-match or move to a new mirror domain overnight. MatchTick is deliberately the opposite of a Craxstream: it never carries a single stream, shows the live score for free, and sends you to the official, licensed broadcaster for your country — nothing to break, nothing to close, and nothing illegal about it.
