Traditional television viewers can catch the matches on Zee’s fresh Unite8 Sports network. To handle the packed group stages where games are certain to overlap, the broadcasts will be divided across the network’s four distinct channels with both English and Hindi commentary.
Upon completion of the required approvals from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, these 4 channels have gone live: Unite8 Sports 1, Unite8 Sports 1 HD, Unite8 Sports 2 and Unite8 Sports 2 HD
Here are all the distribution partners: Dish TV, Tata Play, Airtel Digital TV, Sun Direct, Siti Networks, Indian Cable Net Company Ltd., Hinduja Global, Fastway, Andhra Pradesh State FiberNet Ltd. (APSFL), Kerala Communicators Cable Ltd. (KCCL), Thamizhaga Cable TV Communications, VK Digital, UCN Cable Network, Take One, Sri Sai Cable, Kal Cable, Digiana, Bhimavaram and Axom, among others.
What about the prices?
Unite8 Sports 1 — ₹7
Unite8 Sports 1 HD — ₹9
Unite8 Sports 2 — ₹8
Unite8 Sports 2 HD — ₹11
Consequently, the price tag will depend on the options provided by individual cable and DTH operators, even if ZEEL has already released its baseline channel rates.
