England to host concurrent Ashes series in 2027

England's men's and women's teams will face Australia in concurrent Ashes series on home soil in 2027.

England men's quest to avenge their 4-1 drubbing in the 2025-26 series Down Under and wrest back the urn begins with the first Test at Trent Bridge on June 18.

Lord's and Edgbaston host the second and third Tests before a historic fourth at Southampton's Utilita Bowl, which will stage a men's Ashes Test for the first time from July 21.

The series concludes with the fifth and final Test at The Kia Oval from July 29.

England are scheduled to face Pakistan in a five-match ODI series from May 15-26 before finalising their Ashes preparations in a one-off Test against Bangladesh at Lord's from May 28.

England's summer schedule concludes on September 25 with the completion of an eight-match white-ball series against New Zealand, comprising three ODIs and five T20Is, beginning on September 7.

Like their men's counterparts, England Women face a similarly steep climb to Ashes glory after being whitewashed 16-0 in the 2025 series in Australia.

England's bid to end a 13-year Women's Ashes drought begins with a one-off Test against Australia at Headingley from June 24.

The multi-format series then switches to T20Is at Trent Bridge (July 3), The Kia Oval (July 6) and Emirates Old Trafford (July 9).

The 2027 Women's Ashes concludes with three one-day internationals at Southampton (July 13), Lord's (July 16) and Edgbaston (July 20).
