Cricket Australia announced the schedule for this year’s men’s Ashes Test series against England on Sunday.
The five-Test series will begin on November 21, 2025, at the Optus Stadium in Perth and will conclude with the Pink Test, which will be held at the Sydney Cricket Ground from January 4, 2026.
Australia will have a packed second half of 2025, with multi-format series against South Africa and India in August and October, respectively, ahead of the Ashes.
There is almost a fortnight gap between the end of the India T20Is and the beginning of the Ashes, meaning Australia’s all-format stars could conceivably feature in both. The 2025-26 season will be the first ever to feature men’s international matches in all eight Australian states and territories, with Canberra and Hobart both set to host India during their five-game T20 series.
