Follow our guide below for where to watch IPL live streams 2024 from anywhere— and potentially for FREE with a VPN.

The 17th Indian Premier League started on March 22 and the final will be held in Chennai on May 26. In all, 74 matches will be played, 70 of them in the group stages. All 10 teams play seven home and seven away league fixtures, with the top four teams in the league going into the playoffs.

Although all 10 teams complete in one league, with one league table, they have been divided into two groups for fixture purposes. Each team plays the teams from the other group twice, once home and once away, but play the sides in their own group only once.

Here's how to watch every ball of the IPL 2024 from anywhere.

IPL live streams around the world

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the cricket via your usual streaming service?

You can still watch the IPL live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

1. Download and install a VPN - as we say, our top choice is NordVPN.

2. Connect to the appropriate server location - open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location.
