Gravity Media will deliver more than 350 hours of live cricket coverage this summer in an expanded broadcast and technology partnership with Cricket Australia.
The 2025–26 summer will see Gravity Media provide coverage across more than 60 days of domestic and representative cricket, including the One Day Cup, Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL), Women’s National Cricket League (WNCL), Sheffield Shield (including the Final), and matches featuring the Prime Minister’s XI and Governor General’s XI.
Coverage will be distributed across Fox Sports and Kayo in Australia, Fancode in India, and globally through CA Live and cricket.com.au.
New broadcast innovations
A key development this season is Gravity Media’s proprietary CelBo remote broadcast production solution. Designed in Australia, CelBo uses cellular and cloud-based technologies to deliver live camera and audio feeds back to Gravity Media’s production centres in Sydney and Melbourne. The system allows for full production workflows including graphics and replays without the need for large on-site crews.
Gravity Media will also deploy its high-definition outside broadcast trucks and remote production technologies throughout the season. Boost Graphics, the company’s international graphics subsidiary, will supply an updated on-screen graphics suite for Cricket Australia matches, enhancing coverage for domestic and international audiences.
Ninth season of partnership
This summer marks the ninth year of Gravity Media’s broadcast relationship with Cricket Australia. The company began its 2025–26 commitments last month with coverage of the Under-19 men’s series between Australia and India, and will next deliver the Sheffield Shield fixture between Western Australia and New South Wales at the WACA Ground from 4 October.
Dan Allan, content manager, broadcast at Cricket Australia, said: “Gravity Media have been a brilliant production partner to cricket for almost a decade and we look forward to continuing that partnership in 2025–26. GM’s commitment to innovation and their flexible production services have allowed us to unlock more content for fans than ever before – helping us to deliver what will no doubt be the biggest summer of cricket in Australian history.”
Nigel Naseby, account manager – media services and facilities at Gravity Media in Australia, added: “We are dedicated to building on this foundation, working hand-in-hand with Cricket Australia to continue developing our cutting-edge broadcast technologies, ensuring we deliver another compelling and innovative cricket season over the coming months.”
The announcement extends Gravity Media’s portfolio of major sports productions in Australia, which also includes the Australian Open, Melbourne Cup, Bathurst 1000, A-Leagues, AFLW, NRLW and the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
