India and New Zealand begin the first of a three-test series on Wednesday, kicking off in Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. We've put together everything you need to know about how to watch India vs. New Zealand, with a focus on affordable live streaming options.
India's national cricket team has had a phenomenal year so far. Not only did they beat out longtime rival Pakistan at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup this June, but they went on to win the entire tournament in an epic final against South Africa. New Zealand has had a slightly rockier year, failing to make it out of the group stages at the T20 World Cup and falling to Sri Lanka twice in a two-test series last month. New Zealand's tour of India will give NZ a challenging chance to work some of their issues out in real time, ahead of the team's five upcoming pairings with Sri Lanka in November.
Whether you're rooting for India to continue its 2024 success or you're hoping to see New Zealand pull off a win, we've got you covered. Keep reading to learn how to tune in to all three test matches.

The first test match will kick off on Wednesday, October 16 at 12 a.m. ET, so it might be a bit of a late night for American fans. Willow is available through several major cable packages. You can also get it as a part of a month-to-month live TV package, including Sling TV.
Sling TV is one of the cheaper ways to watch Willow HD. Subscribers can tune in through some of Sling's Desi plans, which start at just $10/month. The Dakshin Flex (from $10/month) and the Desi Binge Plus (from $15/month) both carry Willow HD. Sling also occasionally offers free cricket live streams (including coverage of the ongoing ICC Women's T20 World Cup), although you'll need to subscribe for the India vs. New Zealand test series. You can also add the channel on to your existing Sling subscription if you're already a customer.
For just the essentials without any extra fluff, Sling TV is the streaming service you're looking for. It's more customizable than other plans, with three options you can choose from, so you pay for only what you need. New members get their first month for $25 off.
If you're traveling away from home, you can still access the match through your live streaming options with the help of a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs are user-friendly tech tools that enable you to change your devices' virtual locations so you can use all of your go-to websites and apps from almost anywhere in the world. Plus, they're strong ways to give your online security and privacy a boost. Since the service we highlighted requires a US method of payment, this option will work best for Americans who are just traveling abroad and hoping to access their existing subscriptions.
Not sure to start when it comes to VPNs? We consistently recommend ExpressVPN since it's straightforward and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. For more information, you can check out our ExpressVPN review.
With its consistent performance, reliable security, and expansive global streaming features, ExpressVPN is the best VPN out there, excelling in every spec and offering many advanced features that makes it exceptional. Better yet, you can save up to 49% and get an extra three months for free today.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
