The most anticipated Ashes Test series will return in November 2025. This time, Australia will host England for five Tests in the 2025/26 summer.

Australia come into the Ashes 2025/26 after winning their series against the West Indies. England, on the other hand, had to fight hard for a 2-2 draw against India at home. This gives Australia a slight advantage heading into the Ashes, which begins on November 21, 2025, with the first Test at Optus Stadium in Perth.

Both teams will then move to Brisbane for the pink-ball Test, starting December 4. A week-long break will follow before the third Test starts on December 17 at the Adelaide Oval. Melbourne will then stage the traditional Boxing Day encounter starting December 26. And as usual, the Ashes will conclude in Sydney with the New Year Test slated between January 4 and 8, 2026.
