The Ashes are back in 2025 for the first time since the 2022/23 series in Australia, when an in-form Australia will look to take down a very aggressive English team.
"A legendary rivalry in cricket, the Ashes always delivers drama and intensity. The history and high stakes will make the upcoming series a must-watch for fans. "
The 5 Test Australia vs England Ashes series kicks off on Friday 21 November 2025 from 130pm AEST at Perth Stadium in Perth.
The remaining 4 Tests start on 4 December at The Gabba in a day/night match, 17 December at The Adelaide Oval, 26 December at The MCG and 4 January at The SCG.
The Ashes 2025 can only be seen on free-to-air broadcast TV on the 9 Network.
