Cricket will be everywhere this season, with international matches to be played in 11 cities and 14 venues throughout an action-packed schedule for Australia\u2019s national sport, spanning eight months from August 2025 through to March 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans across Australia will be treated to the hugely anticipated NRMA Insurance men\u2019s Ashes five-Test series, an exciting eight-game men’s white ball series against fierce rival India, a multiformat women\u2019s series seeing Australia\u2019s star-studded team taking on India and six season-opening men\u2019s white ball matches against South Africa in the tropical north.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attendance records set during last summer\u2019s Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series will be under threat when fans flock to see Pat Cummins\u2019 Australians attempt to defend the Ashes trophy they have held since 2017-18 against Ben Stokes\u2019 England.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cricket world will be gripped by a series commencing with the West Test at Perth Stadium and featuring the first Ashes D\/N Test at the Gabba and the inaugural Christmas Test at Adelaide Oval before the traditional Boxing Day and New Year\u2019s Tests.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hugely popular Indian teams again feature prominently on the schedule with Australia\u2019s men taking on India in a blockbuster white ball series that includes the first five-match T20I series between the cricket heavyweights. The T20I series commences at Manuka Oval, Canberra and includes the Indian men\u2019s team\u2019s first match on the Gold Coast.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Australian women will host a multiformat series against the rapidly emerging Indian team including the first Test Match at the redeveloped WACA Ground in Perth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harnessing the momentum created by last season\u2019s successful Women\u2019s Ashes Series there will also be three marquee T20I matches at the SCG, Manuka Oval and Adelaide Oval.<\/span><\/p>\n

The international season begins in the Top End with Darwin, Cairns and Mackay hosting three men’s T20Is and three ODIs between Australia and South Africa following their showdown in the World Test Championship final at Lord\u2019s in June.<\/span><\/p>\n

The series-opening T20Is in Darwin will see international cricket return to the Northern Territory after a 17-year hiatus while Mackay and Cairns will provide a tropical backdrop for some exciting early-season encounters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Todd Greenberg, CA CEO said:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to announce the schedule for what will be another incredible international season including the grand history and intense rivalry of the Ashes, the fantastic box office appeal of the India men’s and women\u2019s teams and a return to some iconic tourist locations in northern Australia for the white ball series against South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to bringing international cricket to fans across the country with 11 cities and 14 venues hosting matches throughout the season including matches in every state and territory capital city for the first time in 17 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe smashed many records for attendance, viewing audiences and digital engagement last summer and we\u2019re confident that this incredible momentum will continue throughout what promises to be an engrossing season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely grateful for the cooperation and support of all our government, venue, broadcast and commercial partners who ensure Australia\u2019s national sport continues to deliver brilliant experiences in stadiums and drive participation across the country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
