Asia Cup 2025 – Complete Guide for Fans

Hey cricket lover, the Asia Cup 2025 is just around the corner and you probably want to know when, where and how to catch every game. We’ve gathered the basics so you can plan your weekends, book tickets, or set up your streaming screen without any hassle.

Match Schedule & Venues

The tournament kicks off on September 5, 2025, and runs until September 23. There are ten matches in total – a round‑robin stage followed by a final. Most games will be at the iconic Dubai International Cricket Stadium, with a couple of key fixtures in the Sharjah Cricket Stadium and the Abu Dhabi Cricket Ground. The final lands in Dubai on the 23rd, so mark that date.

Each team plays four group matches, so you’ll see India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan face off twice each. The schedule is tight, with a game every two days, giving fans plenty of action without long waiting periods.

How to Watch Live

If you’re inside India, the matches will be broadcast on Star Sports and streamed for free on Disney+ Hotstar. Outside the sub‑continent, fans can catch the live feed on FanCode, which offers a simple subscription and works on both mobile and desktop. The streaming quality is solid, and you can switch between commentary languages – English, Hindi, Punjabi, or even Bengali for regional fans.

For those who prefer the TV route, check local listings for Star Sports channels that carry the tournament in your region. Some cable providers also bundle the channel in their sports packages, so a quick call to your ISP can confirm availability.

Don’t forget about the official Asia Cup app – it gives you live scores, in‑game stats and a push notification for every wicket or six. It’s handy if you’re on the go and can’t keep an eye on the TV.

Tickets for the group matches go on sale next week on the official cricket board websites. Prices start at ₹800 for side‑line seats and go up to ₹5,000 for premium sections. If you want the best view, buy early – the popular matches sell out fast, especially the India‑Pakistan clash.

Planning to travel? Most venues are well‑connected by metro and taxis. Dubai’s metro line stops just a short walk from the stadium, and there are plenty of affordable hotels nearby. Book early to snag a room with a view of the city skyline.
