According to a press release, fans can catch all live matches on Sony Sports Network channels and stream them on Sony LIV, with coverage in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. India’s campaign kicks off with a match against UAE on September 10, followed by key contests in the Super Four stage, culminating in the final on September 28.

Speaking about the Asia Cup broadcast, Rajesh Kaul, Chief Revenue Officer – Distribution & International Business and Head – Sports Business, Sony Pictures Networks India, said, “As the Asia Cup returns, Sony Sports Network reimagines cricket broadcasting and connects every fan to the pulse of the nation’s greatest sport. Our campaign #RagRagMeinBharat reflects our vision to make world-class cricket accessible to audiences from the remotest villages to the busiest metros. The Asia Cup represents not just a battle for supremacy, but a fusion of history, culture, and aspiration.”
Cricket legends also shared their thoughts on Team India’s prospects. Sunil Gavaskar, former Team India captain, said, “Under Surya Kumar Yadav’s dynamic leadership, we witness a blend of tenacity and experience steering the side. This squad symbolizes the future of Indian cricket – diverse, versatile, and combative. The Asia Cup offers them a platform not just to defend India’s supremacy but to lay the foundation for a new era of dominance in T20 cricket.”
Ravi Shastri, former Team India batter, added, “With Surya Kumar leading from the front and Shubman Gill as vice-captain, this Indian squad exemplifies the perfect mix of experience and potential. Talents like Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Tilak Varma, and Harshit Rana bring depth and spark. The Asia Cup 2025 will be the crucible where their mettle is tested, and I am confident this team will rise to the occasion.”
With comprehensive multilingual coverage, expert analysis, and live streaming, Sony Sports Network promises to deliver an immersive viewing experience for fans, making Asia Cup 2025 a celebration of cricket across India.
