The Asian Football Confederation has pushed the 2027 Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia from January to December due to "exceptional circumstances" and regional security concerns, according to reports from NDTV, the Hindustan Times, and the Times of India. The Hindu specifically attributed the postponement to safety following recent Houthi attacks that have caused cancellations or delays for multiple sporting events in the country. Following the continental tournament's rescheduling, the Times of India reported that the Saudi Pro League also delayed Matchweek 13.
