Fans in Australia require an Amazon Prime Video subscription to watch the 2025 World Test Championship (WTC) Final.
The WTC 2023 Final between Australia and India was broadcast on free-to-air via Channel 7. However, Amazon now have the rights after landing a deal with the International Cricket Council (ICC) in December 2023 for all major events, including the WTC Final, plus men’s and women’s ODI and T20 World Cups as well.
According to reports, Channel 7 has been lobbying to show the WTC Final, but are blocked due to a legislative loophole. A report in The Australian stated that because because Pat Cummins’ team is facing South Africa – rather than England or India – the match has been locked away exclusively for Amazon.

Australia are aiming for the second-straight WTC title after beating India at The Oval in 2023. There are question marks around the make up of the top three, but coach Andrew McDonald says Australia are “hoping to bed those [decisions] down early and give guys clarity leading into that WTC Final,” as quoted by cricket.com.au.
South Africa will be a tough test. The Proteas possess an excellent pace attack, plus the added motivation of winning a first ICC title since the 1998 Champions Trophy.
