India schedule for Asia Cup 2025: Full fixtures list, match timings and venues

When will Asia Cup 2025 be played?

Organised by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) since 1983, the Asia Cup will enter its 17th edition, having been held biennially. The upcoming tournament will feature eight teams divided into two groups:

Group A: India, Pakistan, UAE, and Oman

Group B: Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong

The tournament will run from September 9 to 28, with a total of 12 group-stage matches, followed by six Super Four fixtures and the final.

Unlike the 2023 Asia Cup, which was played in the ODI format ahead of the 2023 World Cup, the upcoming edition will follow the T20I format, serving as a precursor to the 2026 T20 World Cup. Defending champions India are the most successful team in the tournament’s history, with eight titles, followed by Sri Lanka (six) and Pakistan (two).
