The decision by BCCI to schedule an India vs Pakistan match during the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 has sparked significant backlash. Disappointed fans across India have started a boycott campaign, which is now extending to SonyLiv, the platform streaming the tournament exclusively. This protest is gaining traction as the tournament approaches its start date on 9th September.
SonyLiv, which secured exclusive streaming rights for the Asia Cup along with Sony Sports Network, has taken over from Star Sports, which streamed previous major cricket tournaments. Many viewers are expressing their frustration with the shift, particularly because of the controversy surrounding the India-Pakistan clash, long considered one of the most politically sensitive matches in world cricket.
The boycott campaign has turned into a viral trend, with fans urging others to cancel SonyLiv subscriptions and avoid viewing the tournament. Social media has become a hotbed for this protest, with hashtags and posts criticizing both the BCCI’s scheduling and SonyLiv’s association with the match.
SonyLiv, known for its diverse sports streaming and user-friendly interface, now finds itself in an unexpected storm. While the platform aims to deliver high-quality live coverage, viewer sentiment suggests trouble ahead. The anger over this clash may result in significant subscription losses for SonyLiv.
As the Asia Cup draws nearer, many users are considering discontinuing their SonyLiv accounts. While the long-term impact of the boycott remains to be seen, the growing negativity online could damage the platform’s reputation and financial performance during the tournament period.
