The Ashes 2025: Schedule, Test dates, favourites, format & how to follow on the BBC

The first Test in Perth takes place at the Optus Stadium. It will be the first time the ground has hosted an Ashes Test, with all 13 Ashes Tests in Perth previously held at the Waca.

It means Australia will start a home Ashes series away from the Gabba in Brisbane for the first time since 1982-83.

The Gabba, where Australia have won 13 of their 22 Ashes Tests and are unbeaten against England in the format since 1986, will instead host the second Test from 4 to 8 December.

That fixture will be a day-night match using a pink ball – the first time an Ashes Test has been held under floodlights at the ground.

England will then head to the Adelaide Oval for the third Test from 17 to 21 December.

That match will be followed by the traditional Boxing Day Test at the 100,024-capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground from 26 to 30 December (23:30 GMT on 25 December)

The five-match series concludes at the Sydney Cricket Ground from 4 to 8 January (23:30 GMT, 3 January).
