Sports broadcaster TNT set to air the 2025-26 Ashes series taking place in Australia, featuring the English cricket team.
The upcoming Ashes series between Australia and England, scheduled from November 21, 2025, to January 8, 2026, promises to be an exciting five-Test battle across Australia. This series forms part of the 2025–2027 ICC World Test Championship and will take place in the following venues:
- 1st Test: November 21–25, 2025 at Perth Stadium, Perth
- 2nd Test (day/night): December 4–8, 2025 at The Gabba, Brisbane
- 3rd Test: December 17–21, 2025 at Adelaide Oval, Adelaide
- 4th Test: December 25–29, 2025 at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne

This series marks the first Ashes Test hosted at Perth Stadium, returning Ashes cricket to Perth after a hiatus in 2021–22. The Gabba hosts the second Test as a day/night match, with Brisbane no longer opening the series for the first time since 1982–83.
Australia currently holds the Ashes trophy, having won in 2021–22 and drawing in 2023. England will aim to end Australia's hold on the urn since 2018. This series will feature two great sides led by captains Pat Cummins and Ben Stokes.
