England vs India starts Wednesday, July 1, with a five-match T20I series opening at Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street. The series runs through Saturday, July 11, and arrives with both teams carrying recent losses into a new stretch of games.
Riverside Ground Opens the Series
The opener gives England and India an immediate chance to reset after uneven runs. India comes in after two losses to Ireland, while England is coming off a three-match series loss against New Zealand. Those results turn the first match into more than a scheduled start; both sides enter needing a cleaner response than their recent form suggested.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi adds another layer to the series. The 15-year-old India prospect is hoping to make history as the nation’s youngest international player, a milestone that would place him directly into the center of a high-profile opening week. For India, that makes the series about both immediate results and a possible debut storyline.
Willow TV in the U.S.
Viewers in the U.S. need access to Willow TV to watch the matches live, either through a cable package or a live TV streaming service that carries the channel. DirecTV includes Willow TV in its Sports Pack and MySports Extra add-ons, and its packages begin with a five-day free trial. Sling offers Willow in its Dashkin Flex Pack for $10 a month, but it does not offer a free trial.
Fubo also carries Willow in its Pro and Elite packages. Its plans start with a one-day free trial before payment begins at $63.99 for the first month, and the Fubo Pro plan then costs $88.99 a month after that. For U.S. viewers sorting out access before Wednesday, July 1, the practical step is simple: make sure Willow TV is included before the series opens.
July 11 Finish Line
The five-match schedule stretches across 11 days, ending with the fifth match on Saturday, July 11. That gives the series a tight frame and little room for either side to waste an early result. The opener at Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street sets the tone, and the live-streaming choice in the U.S. decides who can follow it from the first ball.
