Stumps is fast approaching on another highly eventful Ashes series, with Australia having already retained the prized urn on home soil.
While the 2025-26 series may almost be over, Australian and English cricket fans don’t have to wait long for the game’s oldest foes to renew a Test rivalry that began way back in the 19th Century.
AllSportsPeople outlines everything we currently know about the next times Australia will face England in Test cricket.
150-Year Anniversary Test, MCG, March 2027
In just over 14 months’ time, Australia and England will meet in a standalone 150-Year Anniversary Test to be played under day/night pink ball conditions at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between 11-15 March 2027.
A one-off contest between Australian and England to commemorate the first meeting of the two nations in 1877, the Ashes will not be on the line for this unique Test match.

Two more potential Test matches
There are two more potential Test meetings between Australia and England in the next few years, on paper at least.
These would happen should both nations qualify for the Final of either the 2027 or 2029 editions of the ICC World Test Championship.
Australia is currently ranked first in the 2027 Championship standings, however England is languishing in seventh place.
What does this all mean?
Simply that Australia and England will square off in at least 11—and as many as 13—Test Matches in the next four years.
Bring it on.
