Sky Sports is set to broadcast its biggest ever summer of womens cricket, as part of a huge line-up of womens sport in 2018.
For the first time, Sky Sports will show 12 matches from the Kia Super League nearly double the amount from last year - in addition to England womens triumphant return to action against South Africa and New Zealand.
Viewing figures for womens sport reached a record high for Sky Sports in 2017, which saw more people tune in to watch womens cricket, netball, rugby and golf than ever before. Viewing was up 23%, with the womens cricket World Cup final being Skys most watched womens sporting event ever, with a peak of over 1.1 million viewers.
The line-up of womens sport includes:
Cricket
England womens ODIs and T20 Tri-Series double header against South Africa and New Zealand, starting Saturday 9 June.
12 matches from the Kia Super League, culminating in finals day from Hove on 27 August.
The ICC Womens World Twenty20 in November.
Rugby
England womens Six Nations beginning 4 February, select international games, HSBC World Rugby Womens Sevens Series and Tyrells Premier 15s.
Golf
The Ladies Professional Golf Association, Ladies European Tour and all five Majors including the British Open.
Netball
International and Vitality Super League, All-Star Fast 5s and Quad Series Internationals.
Bryan Henderson, Head of Sky Sports Cricket, said: Last year felt like a watershed moment for womens sport, with my undoubted highlight being the moment Englands women clinched the World Cup at Lords. At Sky Sports, were proud of the contribution weve made to growing womens sport, and were determined to continue that in 2018. We have an incredible line-up, across a range of sports, with cricket a huge part of the schedule again. We cant wait to get started.
Clare Connor, ECB Director of England Womens Cricket, said We are proud to continue working with Sky as we strive to raise the profile of womens cricket off the back of an amazing 12 months, culminating in that unforgettable day at Lords. With two home international series on Sky this summer along with standalone Kia Super League games being broadcast for the first time, we are seeing the game continue to go from strength to strength.
