Watch NPL Season 3 live through NetTV worldwide, Himalaya Sports on TV in Nepal, and Star Sports plus FanCode in India — with no free legal live video stream anywhere. Where you watch, what you pay, and which device works all depend on your country, so this guide gives each country its own answer instead of one vague line. Season 3 runs 26 October to 21 November 2026, all 32 matches at TU Ground, Kirtipur, with day games at 12:30 PM NST and evening games at 5:00 PM NST.

Watch NPL in Pakistan
Pakistan viewers get one honest answer: no TV channel carries NPL Season 3 in Pakistan. No linear TV broadcaster is confirmed for Pakistan, and Himalaya Sports rights are Nepal-only, so Pakistani cable and DTH lists will not show the matches. Star Sports TV carriage covers India and South Asia in the match guides, with no confirmed Pakistan carriage, so do not count on Star Sports on a Pakistani connection.
NetTV app and web are the legal video route from Pakistan. NetTV holds worldwide streaming rights, and its route covers every country including Pakistan. Price in Pakistan is shown inside the NetTV app, so check the app before paying — no Pakistan price is officially published, and any page printing a Pakistan price is guessing. Payment options in Pakistan are likewise unconfirmed in any verified source, so check what the app offers before paying rather than assuming a local wallet or card will work.
Pakistan match timings are 11:45 AM PKT for day games and 4:15 PM PKT for evening games. NST runs 45 minutes ahead of PKT, which is where the difference comes from. Free live scores on the official live-scores page are the no-cost fallback for every match, with post-match highlights free as well.
Watch NPL in Nepal
Nepal viewers get two full routes, and the TV route costs nothing extra. Himalaya Sports airs every match on TV in Nepal inside regular channel packages across cable and DTH platforms, with no separate TV pass and no pay-per-view fee. DishHome carriage is confirmed, though the channel number is not published, so check your DishHome list or box search before match day. Cable carriage varies by operator and city, so check your operator’s list too.
Himalaya Sports coverage carries its own studio show, Red Bull Cricket Live, with Shoaib Akhtar joining as special guest. Commentary runs in Nepali and English as before, with Maithili added for the first time this season. Hindi commentary has not been announced.
NetTV Nepal pass costs Rs 400 including tax for all 32 matches. Buy in the NetTV app, or through eSewa or Khalti with a coupon redeemed in the app. Pass works on mobile app and web platform only, not on Smart TV or set-top-box apps, and the Nepal pass is country-locked to Nepal — it cannot be used outside the country. Coupons are single-use and non-refundable, so buy for the right country the first time.
Watch NPL in India
India viewers get three routes, and India is the one place with a big-screen streaming option. Star Sports Select 2 and Select 2 HD carry every match on TV in India and South Asia. FanCode, the India streaming partner, offers a Tour Pass at ₹89 for India only, and FanCode works on its app plus Android TV, Fire TV Stick and Jio TV apps — the one confirmed big-screen streaming route in this whole guide. NetTV is also a legal India route under its worldwide rights, though its India price is shown inside the app rather than published.
India match timings are 12:15 PM IST for day games and 4:45 PM IST for evening games on double-header days, and 4:45 PM IST on single-match days. FanCode Tour Pass at ₹89 is the cheapest confirmed video pass anywhere this season, and it is India-only, so it cannot be bought or used from another country.
Watch NPL in USA, UK, Middle East, Australia and Beyond
Outside Nepal, India and Pakistan, NetTV is the only video route, with one Season Pass per country covering all 32 matches. Passes work only in the country they were bought for, coupons can be redeemed once and cannot be refunded, and a code for the wrong country fails at redemption, so buy for the country you will watch from.

Buy abroad inside the NetTV app or on the web platform, where the local price shows before payment, or through the eSewa coupon flow: choose your region, pay, then redeem the code in the app. NetTV app runs on Android and iPhone — check the publisher name, NetTV Pvt. Ltd., before installing, because lookalike apps appear around every tournament. Web platform runs in desktop Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari with the account the pass was bought on, and Smart TV browsers are not supported.
Free vs Paid: The Honest Picture
Free legal live video stream does not exist for Season 3 — the official watch hub says so plainly, and every match guide repeats it. Free legal options are ball-by-ball live scores on the official live-scores page for every match, plus post-match highlights. Independent ball-by-ball score and commentary also runs on ESPNcricinfo.
Paid video means NetTV Season Pass at the country prices above, or FanCode Tour Pass at ₹89 in India. Himalaya Sports on TV in Nepal is the closest thing to free video, since it sits inside regular TV packages with no extra fee, but that route is Nepal-only. No official YouTube live stream exists for Season 3, and no standalone official NPL app exists — the official mobile route is the NetTV app.
Two warnings save money. Casting or mirroring from phone to TV is not confirmed, so do not buy a pass counting on casting. VPN position is not verified anywhere, so the only safe warning is the verified one: passes are country-locked, and a pass bought for the wrong country will not work where you actually watch.
Before You Pay: A Short Checklist
- Confirm the product explicitly includes NPL Season 3, not just a general sports pass.
- Check the actual price inside the app for your country, especially for Pakistan, India, Canada and other countries with no published price.
- Confirm country access before paying, since passes are country-locked and coupons are single-use and non-refundable.
- Confirm your device: NetTV works on mobile app and web only, not Smart TV or set-top-box apps, and casting is not confirmed.
- Confirm match time from the final fixture list for your time zone before the first game you plan to watch.
