The 2025/26 Ashes gets underway on 21 November 2025 when Australia host England in the first Test of a five-match series in Perth.
England have an atrocious record in Australia, losing their last three tours 5-0, 4-0 and 4-0 but there are high hopes among supporters and players alike that they can turn it around this year.
Australia currently holds the urn, something they retained after a 2-2 series draw in England a couple of years back. England must win the series outright to reclaim the urn as a drawn series sees the hosts hold onto it.
