New Delhi: The Australian summer is going to become exciting with the upcoming lineup of the 2025/26 Ashes Test series. While the focus this summer will be on the five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series, the Ashes dates have been released earlier than usual to allow those coming from overseas or interstate to plan their itineraries.
Beginning with the West Test at Perth Stadium, the 2025-26 Ashes dates align with our recently released seven-year international schedule and we are grateful for the support state and territory governments are providing to enhance and grow our major events…

Furthermore, Joel added:
The history and excitement of the Ashes make it one of the world’s most iconic sporting events and we are delighted this fierce and electrifying rivalry will extend over two summers in 2025 – commencing with CommBank Women’s Ashes this summer, which includes the historic MCG day-night Test, and culminates in the Men’s Ashes next summer.
The Ashes Series holds an important place in cricket in the Australian summer. Currently, the Ashes trophy is with the Australian cricket team which won the trophy back in 21/22 in their backyard. Last year during the 2023 Ashes, both teams ended the season in a stalemate which led to the retention of the trophy by the test champions.
