Building the Official Platform for a 409-Million-Viewer Cricket Tournament
World Championship of Legends Cricket needed a flagship digital presence worthy of an internationally broadcast sporting event. Hosting Nation built it on time, under pressure, and without a single incident on match day.
Client overview
The challenge
The World Championship of Legends is a T20 tournament featuring retired international cricket legends AB de Villiers, Yuvraj Singh, Chris Gayle, Shoaib Akhtar, and more. The 2025 edition drew a global audience of 409 million viewers.
WCL needed a digital presence that could handle the scale and credibility of a globally broadcast sporting event. The existing online presence did not reflect the stature of the tournament or the legends competing in it.
They needed: a flagship site fast enough for match-day traffic spikes, a design matching the prestige of the lineup, player profiles and match schedules, and a media hub for broadcast partners. The deadline was fixed. The tournament was happening. There was no room to miss it.
