Asia Cup 2022 is anticipated to be one of the most watched cricket tournaments in the world, after IPL and the ICC World Cups, as it involves the teams from Indian subcontinent, which has got the biggest audience in the game.
The tournament is also expected to have three India Vs Pakistan games, two almost guaranteed, which is why it has already become a much hyped event, as India Vs Pakistan contest is probably the most bitter rivalry in the game of cricket at the moment.
The qualifiers of Asia Cup 2022 are currently underway and the main round of the tournament will get underway on 27th of August with Sri Lanka and Afghanistan taking on each other in the opening game of group B, a day before India and Pakistan go head to head in group A.
Star Sports are the official broadcasters of the Asia Cup and they have distributed the broadcasting rights around the world. While the broadcasting rights in the Indian subcontinent are held by Star Sports themselves, they might also broadcast the tournament in UK and USA through their streaming app Hotstar, as they haven’t partnered with a TV network for the broadcasting of the tournament in those two countries yet.
Supersport has been given the rights to broadcast the tournament in South Africa, while people in North African countries and also in the Middle East region will be able to watch the tournament on OSN Sports Cricket HD.
The TV partners are not there for the broadcasting of Asia Cup 2022 in Australia and New Zealand either and the online streaming platform Yupp TV will be streaming the tournament down under. Yupp TV can also be accessed for Asia Cup viewing in Canada.
As far as Pakistan and Afghanistan are concerned, Ten Sports and Ariana TV have got the broadcasting rights of the tournament. While in Bangladesh, Gazi TV and Channel 9 will be showing the matches of the Asia Cup.
