The Asia Cup schedule will be finalised by ACC.

The Asia Cup will be held using a hybrid model, as agreed upon by the PCB and the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). The tournament will feature 4 matches in Pakistan and 9 in Sri Lanka. The most recent draught of the tournament schedule has now been sent to ACC by PCB following discussions with the Sri Lankan Board. The ACC is anticipated to release the schedule in the near future following a few more changes.

Lahore was to serve as the site of all Pakistani games.

Najam Sethi, a former chairman of the PCB, had forwarded the ACC the preliminary Asia Cup schedule. All of the games were supposed to be played in Lahore only, but the new chairman Zaka Ashraf also added Multan. Three matches will be played in Lahore, with the opening game taking place in Multan. There will also be one Super-4 stage match included in this.
