Bangladesh will host the Asia Cup in 2027, with the tournament expected to be held from June 18 to July 4 in the ODI format, according to an Invitation for Expression of Interest issued by the Asian Cricket Council.
The Asia Cup is usually played in the same format as the upcoming World Cup to help teams prepare for the global tournament. Following that pattern, the 2027 Asia Cup will be played in the 50-over format because the ODI World Cup is scheduled for the same year.
India has been named the host of the 2025 Asia Cup, which will be played in the T20 format. The tournament will help Asian teams prepare for the 2026 T20 World Cup, which will also be held in India.
Pakistan hosted the 2023 Asia Cup ahead of the ODI World Cup, which was held later that year in India. The tournament was played under a hybrid model after India refused to travel to Pakistan, with all of India's matches taking place in Sri Lanka.
