CricHD
CricHD is a name shared by unlicensed streaming sites that carry live cricket for fans in India, Pakistan and the UK, plus football, F1, rugby and UFC. Courts in India, France and the US have blocked or seized its domains since 2022, and new ones keep appearing.

Unknown, and likely to stay that way: none of the addresses carrying the CricHD name can be shown to be the original, and no court or reporter has named who runs them. Our list holds sixteen domains with the name, from crichd.com and crichd.live, blocked in India in 2022, to the newest target, crichd.top, which the Delhi High Court ordered blocked in July 2026 on Sony Pictures Networks India's application.
Whatever opens today is a copy of unknown origin. The names people try include crichd.sc, crichd.tv and crichdplayer.com, while spin-offs such as CricHDBest sit beside lookalikes like Crickhd that have no known tie to the rest. Enforcement trims the list every few months: US agents took crichd.tech and crichdbest.com in June 2026, and French ISPs and VPN providers block the .sc, .sx, .tv, .mobi and .info endings. Our checker opens each address once a day, and the labels above show what today's run found.
For the next Test or T20, the services above list who carries it in your country.
What Happened to CricHD

Is CricHD Safe?
No, and the way its streams are built makes it worse. Many CricHD links open a TV channel inside a second site, often a crichdplayer address, so one match can pass through two or three unscreened ad networks. One of its domains, crichd.app, belonged to the Streameast copycat ring that ACE and Egyptian authorities dismantled in September 2025: these sites are run as businesses, not fan projects.
On a phone mid-match, expect:
- a redirect or a new tab almost every time you tap the screen
- a fake close button or play arrow that opens an ad instead
- prompts on Android to install an APK or a separate player
- adult (18+) and dating ads between overs
The rarer outcomes cost more: malware hidden in those downloads, browser notifications that keep pushing scam alerts long after stumps, and "HD unlock" forms that want card numbers or a picture of your passport. If you installed something from a CricHD page, delete it, scan with Play Protect or your antivirus, and block that site's notifications in your browser settings.
The same cricket, from companies you can name: streaming services and betting sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is CricHD?
CricHD is a name used by a cluster of unlicensed sites that stream live cricket and relay TV sports channels, with football, F1, rugby and UFC alongside. Its pages are in English and pull in cricket fans in India, Pakistan, the UK and further afield. No launch date or operator has ever been reported. Since 2022 its domains have been blocked by the Delhi High Court, seized by US authorities and blocked in France, and the addresses using the name today cannot be traced to any original.
Why does CricHD keep getting blocked?
Because Indian broadcasters take it to court around almost every big series. FanCode's owner won a Delhi High Court order against crichd.com and crichd.live in July 2022, Star India named it in an Asia Cup case in August 2023, and Sony followed in July 2026. Each order makes Indian internet providers cut off the named domains, so the name shifts to fresh ones.
What is the new CricHD address?
No address has a better claim than any other. Since no original can be identified, every CricHD domain, the CricHDPlayer and CricHDBest spin-offs included, is run by people nobody has named. Each CricHD domain people look up appears in our table at the top, unlinked, with what our checker saw today.
Is CricHD legal?
No. It shows cricket and other sport without permission from the companies that paid for the rights. That is exactly why FanCode, Star India and Sony went to the Delhi High Court, and why the Premier League put crichd.com and crichdplayer.xyz in a 2023 subpoena request to Cloudflare, then crichdbest.com in a 2026 one to Tucows.
Is CricHD Player the same as CricHD?
They share a name and a habit of hopping domains. crichdplayer.com sits on the same French blocking list as crichd.sc and crichd.tv, and the Premier League named crichdplayer.xyz alongside crichd.com in 2023. Nobody has shown who runs either. Treat a player address like any other copy: it carries the same kind of ads and redirects.
What happened to crichd.app?
It went down in September 2025 with about 80 other domains, when ACE and Egyptian authorities shut a copycat network that traded on the Streameast name. Other CricHD domains were untouched, which is typical: one batch falls and the rest carry on. More on that ring on our Streameast page.
Where can I watch the IPL and the World Cup without CricHD?
Cricket rights are sold country by country, and in many places one TV package or app covers a whole tournament. Our IPL and Cricket World Cup pages list who has the matches where you live. Some betting sites in the row at the top stream cricket too: place a bet and watch the run chase ball by ball.
Does CricHD show football and F1 too?
Does a VPN make CricHD safe?
No, and in France VPN companies were even ordered in May 2025 to block CricHD domains themselves. A VPN changes your route to a site, not what the site loads, so the pop-ups and fake buttons stay. It earns its keep elsewhere: reaching the subscription you pay for at home while abroad, in up to 4K.
What else do people call CricHD?
Common versions are cric hd, crickhd, crick hd and crihd, plus crichdlive, crichd live and crichd player, and the address crichd.tv. Crickhd is also the name of a lookalike site with no known link to the others.
