TVNZ confirms the free-to-air sports it will broadcast from July

From next month, it will operate a sports hub on TVNZ+, showing live events, replays and highlights.

Cricket and major events will be available on TVNZ’s broadcast channels.

Both options will be free. It comes as TVNZ picked up sports rights from Spark Sport.

“Spark Sport viewers have received an exceptional streaming experience over the past four years, and we’re committed to delivering a similar product with TVNZ+,” sports and events general manager Melodie Robinson said.

Local sport will feature a comprehensive commentary team lead by Scotty Stevenson, while for most international events streaming on TVNZ+ a world commentary feed will be used.
