The Black Caps' tour of Zimbabwe will be broadcast live and free for New Zealand cricket fans after ThreeNow secured the rights for the T20I tri-series as well as two test matches.
ThreeNow first temporarily held streaming rights for Black Caps games in 2023 for two tests against Bangladesh.
The upcoming T20I tri-series between
New Zealand
, South Africa and Zimbabwe starts on 14 July, with each team playing four matches over a two-week period. The top two teams will then compete in the final on 26 July. Games will be late for New Zealand viewers, with start times at 11pm.
The test series, which marks the first test between the Black Caps and Zimbabwe since 2016, starts at 8pm each night.
New Zealand cricket television and streaming rights have shifted between providers in the last five years.
Last year Sky locked in a five-year deal to be the New Zealand broadcaster for all ICC men's and women's events through to the end of 2028, including World Cups and the Test Championship.
Spark Sport secured the rights to cricket in New Zealand in April 2020, but this closed in 2023. TVNZ took over the coverage from Spark, and that deal runs out at the end of the 2025/26 season.
From next season (2026/27)
Sky will begin a six-year deal
with the Black Caps and White Ferns home internationals returning to the pay-TV provider for the first time since 2020.
Free-to-access arrangements for the domestic Super Smash competition are yet to be announced.

Rich-listers pull out of Western Springs Stadium project
Western Springs. Photo: RNZ / Marika Khabazi Auckland Football Club's rich-lister owners have pulled their proposal to take over Western Springs Stadium. The privately funded venue focused on football, Auckland Arena, was backed by entrepreneur Anna Mowbray, her husband, former All Black Ali Williams, American businessman Bill Foley, and New Zealander and NBA player Steven Adams. It was one of three options for the future of the stadium that went out for public consultation in May. Auckland Council's economic and cultural agency, Tātaki Auckland Unlimited (TAU), earlier told councillors they favoured the Auckland Arena proposal. The decision comes just weeks after Mowbray and Williams' controversial resource consent application to build a helipad at their multi-million dollar Westmere property was approved. TAU chief executive Nick Hill told RNZ on Tuesday they were informed by the backers of the Auckland Arena concept for the stadium that they had withdrawn their submission to the expression of interest (EOI) process relating to the future use of the stadium. "We were disappointed to hear of the withdrawal of the Auckland Arena proposal. The EOI evaluation panel and our board had deemed it to be the most positive solution for Auckland. TAU was set to provide a recommendation to the council on which proposal to go ahead with at an upcoming meeting on 31 July. Hill said the TAU Board would put off advising councillors on the issue until after the city's local government elections in October. "Western Springs Stadium is a historic and valued asset with huge potential. We need to consider the public consultation feedback before deciding next steps. We are committed to making a recommendation that will deliver positive outcomes and provide certainty for Aucklanders."
