The Asia Cup 2025, the continental tournament organised by the Asian Cricket Council, is scheduled from September 9 to September 28, 2025.

The tournament is hosted in the United Arab Emirates, with matches taking place in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It features eight teams divided into two groups, competing first in group stages, then a Super Four round-robin, culminating in the final. India enters as the defending champion from the 2023 edition held in Sri Lanka.

The switch to the UAE as host is due to political and security considerations between India and Pakistan, making UAE a neutral venue agreeable to all participating nations.

For the Asia Cup 2025, commentary coverage will be broad and multilingual to accommodate a diverse Asian audience. While the Asian Cricket Council has not officially announced the commentary panel, the expected lineup includes regular and popular commentators across English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages.
