The 2025/26 Ashes series will see Australia welcoming England for a tour like no other, with the biggest rivalry in the game set to be renewed once again.

The Aussies arrived as the favourites to secure the urn once again, with the home side having kept hold of the bragging rights since a 4-0 win back in 2017/18.

Since then, the Aussies have drawn 2-2 in 2019, won 4-0 in 2021/22 and drawn 2-2 in 2023. Their home series have proved incredibly one-sided, with battling draws in England seeing them retain the urn.

This year, England arrive with Ben Stokes leading a strong squad that features Joe Root, Jofra Archer and Harry Brook. While the touring party are incredibly good on their day, they do have a batting wobble in them. Ollie Pope will be of particular interest to the Australian bowlers, with the number three hardly in sparkling form right now.

For the home side, Steve Smith will lead the likes of Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head with the bat, while Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon will look to lead with the ball.

The series began with the first of five Tests on November 21st in Perth. We will also be treated to the traditional Boxing Day's Test at the MCG and final match of the series at the SCG in the new year, with this series set to be the best yet.
