During the recently completed commercial cycle (2016-2019), digital consumption of ICC content has grown exponentially. The consumption of digital clips during the recently concluded ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 in England & Wales (CWC19) achieved more than 4.6 billion total views, including 3.6 billion across all ICC digital and social media platforms and more than 3 billion views through short-form highlights and recaps and other match content through ICC channels on Facebook and YouTube.
Over 1 billion clip views from more than 100 million unique users originated from ICC’s diverse portfolio of digital clip licensees across 180+ countries. At an average of 22 million views per match during the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019, this represents an increase in clip views of 200% over the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 which was also held in England & Wales.
