Is Bangladesh vs Nepal Live on TV Tonight?

Bangladesh hosts a familiar adversary, Nepal, in an international friendly encounter at Bangabandhu National Stadium on Thursday, 13th October 2025. The Bengal Tigers will see this fixture as a chance to prepare for the upcoming AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers clash against India, and the Gorkhas will play Malaysia. These two neighbouring nations last played each other in a goalless draw in a friendly at Dashrath Rangasala in Kathmandu in September 2025.

Bangladesh and Nepal are already out of the race to qualify for the Asian Cup after a disappointing qualification campaign. The hosts are placed 3rd in Group C, with only two points in four matches. Meanwhile, the guests are sitting at the bottom of the table following four consecutive defeats in as many outings of the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers. Both teams are entering this match on the back of terrible form.

Javier Cabrera's side last enjoyed a victory against Bhutan in a 2-0 success in June. Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury and Sohel Rana were the two goal scorers of the friendly match. On the other hand, Nepal saw their Australian coach, Matt Ross, resign from his post, thus forcing former Nepal international Hari Khadka to take command of the team's management as a temporary head coach for the two fixtures this month. On that note, check out the latest team news, predicted lineup, and where to watch Bangladesh vs Nepal and Bangladesh vs Nepal live.

Javier Cabrera is delighted with the return of Hamza Choudhury in the training ahead of these two matches. Additionally, Cavalry FC midfielder Shamit Shome will also join the national team camp. However, his chances of starting against Nepal are doubtful, considering the hosts are entirely focused on their match against India. The Spanish coach is likely to test his squad players in this warm-up match.

Carbrera expressed his pre-game thoughts, saying, “We are preparing for India, so we will give as much time as possible and use all the 17 players: the eleven players plus six subs. But yeah, we want to focus on preparing very well against and winning against India.”

Nepal Team News

The Nepal national football team is going through a difficult period with frequent management changes. It will be Hari Khadka's first game in charge of Nepal against Bangladesh.

He has finalised his 23-man squad for the two forthcoming fixtures following a brief training camp in Dasharath Stadium. The Gorkhalis will have key players like Anjan Bista, veteran goalkeeper Kiran Chemjong, and Rohit Chand at their disposal. Bista, who plays his club football in Bangladesh for Brothers' Union, could see himself becoming Nepal's all-time top goal scorer, a record currently held by coach Hari Khadka.
