The 2027 Asia Cup, also known as the Men's Asia Cup 2027, will be the 18th edition of the Asia Cup, a cricket tournament organised by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). It is scheduled to be held in Bangladesh from 18 June to 4 July 2027, and will be played in the One Day International (ODI) format.
Background The Asia Cup is played in alternating formats. The 2023 Asia Cup was played in ODI format and co-hosted by Pakistan and Sri Lanka while the 2025 Asia Cup was played as a T20I tournament. Hence, the 2027 edition will revert to the ODI format.
The 2025 edition was expanded from six to eight teams for the T20I format, before reverting to the six-team format for the ODI edition.
Format The tournament will be following the same format as the 2018 and 2023 editions. The six will be divided into two groups of three. Each team plays the other two teams in its group once. The top two teams from each group advance to the Super 4. The top two teams from the Super 4 stage advance to the final.
Host selection Bangladesh was confirmed as the host nation in July 2026. This will be the sixth time Bangladesh hosts the tournament, after 1988, 2000, 2012, 2014, and 2016.
