The 2027 Ashes series, branded as the Rothesay Men's Ashes series for sponsorship reasons, is an upcoming series of Test cricket matches to be played between England and Australia for The Ashes. The five-match series is due to take place between June and August 2027.
This will be the 38th Ashes series to take place in England and the 75th series overall. Australia are the holders of the Ashes going into the series, having won the previous installment 4–1.
Venues
The five venues will be Trent Bridge, Lord's, Edgbaston, the Rose Bowl and The Oval. The venues and dates for the series were confirmed by the ECB on 23 July 2026.
Trent Bridge in Nottingham will host the first test of the series. This will be the first men's Ashes test at the ground since 2015.
The Rose Bowl in Southampton (currently known as The Utilita Bowl for sponsorship reasons) will host its first Ashes match, becoming the 10th different UK ground to do so.
The decision not to include any grounds in northern England (including Headingley and Old Trafford) in the 2027 schedule was met with criticism. Because of this, there were rumours whether to replace either Lord’s or The Oval with one of the grounds, since they are both in London.
