The 2025–26 Ashes series is an upcoming series of Test cricket matches to be played between Australia and England for The Ashes, between November 2025 and January 2026.
Australia are the defending holders of the Ashes going into the series, having won in 2021–22 and drawn in 2023. The series will form part of the 2025–2027 ICC World Test Championship.
Venues
[edit]
The five venues will be the Perth Stadium, the Gabba, the Adelaide Oval, the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Sydney Cricket Ground. The venues and dates for the series were announced by Cricket Australia on 16 October 2024.[1]
The Perth Stadium (also known as the Optus Stadium) will host the first test of the series. This will be the first time the Perth Stadium will host an Ashes Test and will also mark the return of Ashes cricket to Perth, after the city was not included in the schedule for the 2021–22 series.[2]
This will also be the first Ashes series in Australia to not commence at The Gabba in Brisbane, since the 1982–83 series. The Gabba will instead host the second test of the series, which will be a day/night match.[3]
