The 2025-26 Ashes series marks the 74th edition of this historic cricket rivalry. Scheduled from November 2025 to January 2026, the five-test series will be played across iconic Australian grounds: The Gabba, Adelaide Oval, Perth Stadium, Melbourne Cricket Ground, and Sydney Cricket Ground.
Australia, the current holders, will aim to retain the Ashes. England must win the series outright to reclaim the urn. A draw would see Australia keep the trophy.
In the last Australian-hosted series, Australia dominated with a 4-0 victory, including a 9-wicket win at The Gabba and a 275-run triumph at Adelaide Oval. The only match not won by Australia was a draw at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
