Everyone’s talking about the Asia Cup 2025, and you probably want to know when it starts, who’s playing, and where you can watch it live. Here’s a no‑fluff rundown that gets you straight to the point.
The tournament kicks off on September 15, 2025 and runs until October 5, 2025. Eight Asian teams are locked in – India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Nepal, United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong. They’ll be split into two groups of four, playing a round‑robin format before the top two from each group move to the semi‑finals.
All group games are at the newly renovated Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore and Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. The semi‑finals shift to Kabul International Cricket Stadium and the final lands in Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium. Expect day‑time matches for most group games and night fixtures for the knock‑outs, making it easier to catch a live broadcast.
If you’re in the stadium, tickets go on sale next week on the official Asia Cup portal. Early birds get a 10% discount, and there are family packages that include food vouchers.
For streaming, the rights belong to Star Sports Network in India, Geo TV in Pakistan, and SonyLiv for online viewers worldwide. All major matches will also be on the official YouTube channel with a live commentary feed, so you won’t miss a single six.
