Watch ICC World Cup 2023 & Asia Cup Free On Disney+ Hotstar

JioCinema has not just made its audience happy but has also created huge pressure on its competitors, especially Disney+ Hotstar. After some events that took place earlier this year, Disney+ Hotstar has decided to let all mobile phone users watch the ICC World Cup 2023 live for free along with the Asia Cup. This means that all cricket fans in India can stream the ICC World Cup on the Disney+ Hotstar app on their mobile phones without having to buy a subscription. Let’s talk more about it in detail. 

The head of Disney+ Hotstar, Mr. Sajith Sivanandan said “Disney+ Hotstar has remained at the forefront of the rapidly evolving OTT industry in India and the various innovations we have introduced to continue enhancing the viewer experience has allowed us to delight our audiences across the region. Making the Asia Cup and ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup available to a wider audience, we believe, will help us grow the overall eco-system.”

According to Mr. Sajith Sivanandan, this move of streaming the World Cup 2023 and Asia Cup for free will help Disney+ Hotstar grow the overall ecosystem, which is very true. Let’s see how you can watch the World Cup 2023 and Asia Cup live for free on your smartphone.

Yup, you read it right. You can watch the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023 live for free on your mobile phone using the Disney+ Hotstar app. The World Cup 2023 will start on 5 October and it is the biggest Cricket Tournament in the world that happens once in every four years. And as you might know, the World Cup attracts viewers all over the world. But, only Indian cricket fans will be able to watch the World Cup 2023 free, thanks to the decision taken by Hotstar.

As mentioned above, Disney+ Hotstar will also let mobile users watch the Asia Cup 2023 for free online, which will start in September, just one month before the World Cup 2023 starts. The Asia Cup is usually held in September and the schedule seems to be the same this year too. So if all things go well, you will be able to watch your favorite team and players play for free.

As you might already know, JioCinema streamed the FIFA World Cup and IPL 2023 for free for all users in India. This was a huge hit for Disney+ Hotstar as most viewers preferred the free content on Reliance group’s JioCinema OTT app. Now to survive in the market and stay relevant, Disney+ Hotstar had to take this opportunity and let users watch the World Cup 2023 and Asia Cup for free. This incident is very similar to 2016 when Jio launched its free 4G internet and took over the entire market. That was the time that made it possible for us to enjoy internet services at reasonable prices. So, if this thing keeps continuing with JioCinema too, we might be able to get more OTT content at affordable prices too.

The offer where you can watch the World Cup 2023 and the Asia Cup is valid only for mobile users. This means that if you need to watch these two cricket tournaments live for free, you must download the Disney+ Hotstar app on your mobile phone. You might not be able to watch these tournaments for free on your computer and laptop.

If these are the questions you have been asking for some time, you are in luck. All mobile users can easily watch the World Cup 2023 free on the Hotstar app along with the Asia Cup 2023, starting in September. To watch these cricket tournaments for free, follow these steps:

1. Download the Disney+ Hotstar App from the Google Play Store or the App Store.

2. Sign up on the Disney+ Hotstar app using your phone number. You can also log in if you already have an account on the app.

3. Once you sign up/login, all you need to do is start any Asia Cup/World Cup 2023 cricket match for free.

This is pretty much it for you to watch the upcoming World Cup and Asia Cup live for free on the Disney+ Hotstar app.

What do you think of this move by Hotstar? Being straightforward, I’d say letting users watch the World Cup Live for free is a great move and then adding Asia Cup to the plate is a cherry on top. No matter what these two brands, JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar do, it’s evident that the users are at a great advantage thanks to their competition.
