Asia Cup 2025 - Broadcast thread

[Ball Blazer]

PTV Sports has officially secured the broadcasting rights for the Asia Cup until 2027, and to make the coverage even more exciting, the channel is bringing back its flagship show Game On Hai.

For this year’s Asia Cup special transmission, fans will get to enjoy pre- and post-match analysis every single match day from one of the most powerful expert panels in Pakistan. From Shoaib Akhtar’s bold takes and Misbah-ul-Haq’s logical breakdowns to Bazid Khan’s sharp observations, Umer Gul’s bowling insights, and Shoaib Malik’s balanced perspective, cricket lovers are in for a complete analytical package.

Adding to the energy, Zainab Abbas will be hosting the show, steering discussions between her star-studded panel and ensuring no moment goes dull. Expect fiery debates, emotional reactions, deep dives into match strategies, and of course, plenty of witty one-liners that make Game On Hai a fan-favourite.

With 19 days of continuous action, this special transmission promises not just cricket analysis but pure entertainment, all the way from September 9 to 28, only on PTV Sports HD.

No confirmation yet — I’m still working on it.

I just spoke with Yupp TV: they’ll be showing it in continental Europe, but not in the UK. Hotstar won’t have it either since Disney+ Hotstar doesn’t hold the rights.

As for Sky Sports or TNT, nothing has been announced — and usually details would be out by now. They could still strike a last-minute deal, but the tournament starts tomorrow, so time is running out.

The official broadcaster in India is SonyLIV. So if no UK deal materializes, chances are it will air on Sony SAB or Set Max here. Another possibility is that a Pakistani subsidiary of PTV might pick it up.

Pretty shocking that with the tournament starting tomorrow, there’s still no confirmation from any UK channels.

Asia cup generally has one of the worst broadcasting typically. Don't expect anything to be different.

Yea.. news has to be merged in a generic thread for a player. Not "Accused of racism" threads lol

VVS, Russell Arnold and Manjrekar will be hard on the ears.

The rest can be tolerated somewhat.

Doull and Shastri I enjoy from time to time.

Could have been worse. Could have had Ramiz and Athar Ali Khan on the panel too. We should count our blessings.

Uthappa is not a good commentator but generally has some insight to offer.
