Daily FT
|January 17, 2026
FM Derana was announced as the Official Radio Broadcaster in Sri Lanka for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at a media briefing this week.
-
Co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, the global cricketing spectacle is scheduled to take place from 7 February to 8 March 2026, bringing the world's best teams to a nation that lives and breathes the game.
For FM Derana was the first local private radio broadcaster to become an official radio broadcaster for an ICC World Cup, when it secured the rights for the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup.
In doing so, FM Derana broke the longstanding Government monopoly on live cricket radio broadcasting, opening the door for a wider, more competitive, and more fan-driven experience for listeners across the country.
