As the Indian cricket team is all set to play their second game in Asia Cup 2022 against Hong Kong on Wednesday, the Indian fans living abroad, particularly outside the Indian subcontinent, might be wondering where they can watch the game.
South Africa and the United Kingdom are the two regions that have got a big Indian population and it’s natural that the broadcast of Asia Cup 2022 is something that will be sought after in those two countries.
While it was clear a few weeks ago that Star Sports partnered with Supersport for the broadcast of the Asia Cup in South Africa, there was a little bit of uncertainty about which network will broadcast Asia Cup 2022 in the UK. For a long time, it was said that the tournament might not be on TV in the UK, and Star network will simply stream it on their app Hotstar which is available in the UK too.
But, eventually, Disney India, which is the parent company of Star network, decided to broadcast the Asia Cup on TV as well in the UK. However, it won’t be broadcasted on a sports channel and it will rather be on Utsav Gold HD, which is an entertainment channel in the UK and is owned by Disney India.
Utsav Gold HD is a channel that might not be subscribed to by a lot of native England fans, as it’s a Hindi entertainment channel, but the Indian fans, who are living in the UK currently for work and education purposes, will be able to watch the games of Asia Cup 2022 on Utsav Gold HD.
For those in the UK, the Asia Cup will be shown on Utsav Gold HD which can be found on the following:
SKY Channel 717
Channel 801 on Virgin Media

Asia Cup 2022 might potentially feature three India Vs Pakistan matches
Since Asia Cup might potentially feature three India Vs Pakistan matches, there is a huge buzz about the tournament in the cricket world. While one India Vs Pakistan game has already taken place, which India won, Pakistan now has to beat Hong Kong for India and Pakistan to face each other again in the Super 4 round next Sunday.
If Pakistan fails to beat Hong Kong in their next game, they will be eliminated from the Asia Cup in the preliminary round itself.
