Asia Cup 2025 Live Streaming & Broadcast Details: The wait is finally over as the Asia Cup 2025 gets underway today, September 9, in the United Arab Emirates. The opening clash sees Afghanistan take on Hong Kong in a Group B fixture at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, marking the start of what promises to be one of the most exciting editions of the tournament.
This year's competition is significant, with the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 scheduled in India and Sri Lanka just months away. The Asia Cup offers participating nations an ideal platform to fine-tune their squads, experiment with line-ups, and get used to conditions similar to those expected in the global showpiece. For individual players, it doubles up as a final audition for World Cup selection.

For the first time in its history, the tournament features eight teams, making it larger and more competitive than ever before. Alongside cricketing giants India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan, three associate nations-UAE, Oman, and Hong Kong-have also booked their spots, having qualified through the ACC Premier Cup 2024.
The format ensures plenty of action: the eight teams are divided into two groups, with each side playing three group-stage games. The top two from each pool will move to the Super Four, where every team faces the other three once. From there, the two best performers will battle it out in the final on September 28 in Dubai.
