The Ashes 2027
16 Jun 2027 – 2 Aug 20275 legs4 host cities
Cricket's oldest and fiercest rivalry returns to England in the summer of 2027, when England host Australia for a five-Test Ashes series. The grounds are confirmed — Edgbaston in Birmingham, Lord's and the Kia Oval in London, Trent Bridge in Nottingham and, for the first time, the Ageas Bowl in Southampton — while the exact dates and order are confirmed by the ECB in 2026; the dates shown here are provisional within the traditional mid-June to end-of-July window. Each Test fills its host city for the best part of a week, so book hotels early and follow the urn around England.
