The latest India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 match saw a significant drop in viewership and attendance compared to previous years. Due to boycott calls following the Pahalgam terror attack and geopolitical tensions, the Dubai stadium had many empty seats, and television viewership in India was notably low—the lowest engagement in the past decade for this rivalry. Historically, these matches attracted hundreds of millions of viewers in India; for example, the India vs Pakistan 2021 T20 World Cup match drew about 166 million viewers, and the 2025 Champions Trophy match between the two drew 206 million TV viewers in India. However, the recent Asia Cup match's viewership was much reduced, with no exact figure publicly stated but confirmed to be much lower than usual due to the boycott and political context. So, although India vs Pakistan cricket matches traditionally pull in huge audiences (ranging from about 166 million to over 200 million viewers in the past few years), the 2025 Asia Cup match against the backdrop of political tensions experienced a dramatic fall in both stadium attendance and TV viewership.
