Australia Cricket Schedule 2026–27: Full Fixtures, Dates & Venues Revealed
Cricket Australia announced the 2026 summer schedule on Sunday, March 22. Both the men’s and women’s teams will play 27 international matches across 14 venues, starting from August. Australia’s men’s team will host Bangladesh, New Zealand and England across the next eight months, starting with a two-match Test series against Bangladesh in August and concluding with the 150th anniversary celebration Test against England in March 2027.
The schedule was announced after New Zealand confirmed their tour of Australia in December 2026, marking their first-ever Trans-Tasman series.
Originally, New Zealand were set to play three Tests, but a fourth was added to mark the 150th Test. Meanwhile, Bangladesh’s tour was moved to August 2026 instead of March 2027.
As a result, the two teams will play four Tests in four weeks. But before hosting their Trans-Tasman rivals, Australia will play England across 8 white-ball matches, comprising of three ODIs and five T20Is from November 13 till December 2.
