After the three ODIs, the West Indies tour of India moves into its five-match T20I series. If you want to know where to watch India vs West Indies T20Is live in India – on TV or on your phone – this guide covers the broadcaster, the match times in IST and the easiest way to keep track of every game.
A quick note before we start: CouchMenu never shows live scores or results. This page is only about where and when to watch, so it is spoiler-free.
JioStar holds the broadcast rights for India's 2026-27 home season, which includes this series, according to JioStar's official announcement. In practice that means:
Exact channel numbers and language feeds depend on your DTH or cable operator and pack, so check your operator's guide if you cannot find the match. For the latest confirmed options for each game, open the CouchMenu Sports page – every match card lists the TV channel and streaming app for viewers in India.
The fixtures below are from the BCCI's official home-season announcement. All five T20Is are evening games scheduled to start at 7:00 PM IST.
| Match | Date | Venue | Start (IST) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st T20I | Tue, 6 October 2026 | Lucknow | 7:00 PM |
| 2nd T20I | Fri, 9 October 2026 | Ranchi | 7:00 PM |
| 3rd T20I | Sun, 11 October 2026 | Indore | 7:00 PM |
| 4th T20I | Wed, 14 October 2026 | Hyderabad | 7:00 PM |
| 5th T20I | Sat, 17 October 2026 | Bengaluru | 7:00 PM |
Schedules can change because of weather or other reasons. The Sports page is updated by hand when that happens, so treat it as your go-to check on match day.
If you have a DTH or cable connection, the matches are on the Star Sports Network. A few practical tips:
For streaming, the series is on JioHotstar. You can watch on the phone app, on a laptop browser, or on the JioHotstar app on most smart TVs and streaming sticks.
Live sports on streaming apps usually need an active plan, and what is included can differ between plans and telecom bundles. Rather than rely on numbers that change often, check the plans shown inside the JioHotstar app or on your telecom provider's official site before match day.
A tip for match day: open the app 10–15 minutes before 7:00 PM. Big India games bring a lot of traffic, and it is better to sort out a login or update before the first ball than during it.
With five games in under two weeks – including a Tuesday, a Wednesday and a Friday – some matches clash with prime-time TV and the weekend's new OTT releases. A few ways to plan:
CouchMenu is a "where to watch" guide. We do not publish live scores, results or ball-by-ball updates – the official broadcaster's app is the right place for that. Keeping scores out also means you can check match times here without accidentally running into a spoiler.
Enjoy the series – and when the cricket is done for the night, CouchMenu has your next watch ready on the OTT page and in our best-of lists.
