There’s a lot of buzz surrounding the Asia Cup 2025 because very little time is left before it begins. So, today, I’ll talk in detail about the Asia Cup 2025—when, where, and how the matches will be played, where they will be live telecast, which TV channels will broadcast them, and which OTT platforms will stream them. We’ll cover all the details in this video. But before that, if you’re visiting our channel for the first time, please subscribe quickly because I bring every small and big update related to cricket.
The Asia Cup 2025 is very special because, for the first time in its history, a total of eight teams will participate. When the Asia Cup began, only three teams—India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka—used to take part. Later, it increased to four teams, then five, and now a total of eight teams will compete in the Asia Cup 2025. This growth is very encouraging to see for cricket in Asia.
Now, let’s talk about these eight teams—they’ve been divided into two groups, with four teams in each. First, let’s discuss Group A, which includes India, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, and Oman. Group B consists of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Hong Kong. When we look at the matches in both groups, Group B is extremely tough because it has three strong teams, any of which could make it to the top two. Yes, friends, the top two teams from each group will advance to the Super Four.
It’s likely that India and Pakistan will top Group A. As for Group B, it could be Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, as Bangladesh hasn’t been performing very well lately. A total of 19 matches will be played in the Asia Cup 2025 over 20 days. The tournament will start on September 9 and continue until September 28. During this period, several exciting matches will take place.
The first match will be played between Afghanistan and Hong Kong on September 9. The most talked-about match, India vs. Pakistan, will take place on September 14. Let me tell you, the current Asia Cup champion is India, who won the trophy in 2023 in the ODI format. However, in the T20 format, Sri Lanka is the champion. The big news this time is that neither Virat Kohli nor Rohit Sharma will be playing, so all eyes will be on how India’s young players perform.
Several TV channels and OTT platforms will live telecast the Asia Cup 2025 matches. In India, you can watch it on Sony Liv, as they hold the main broadcast rights. Additionally, it might also be available on Disney+ Hotstar. As for TV channels, it will be broadcast on Sony channels like Sony Ten 1, 2, and 3. In Pakistan, you can watch it on OTT platforms like Tapmad and Yariya, and there’s a high chance it will also be available on Daraz. For those in India who want to watch for free, India’s matches will also be broadcast on DD Sports.
