The Ashes 2025/26: Fixtures, results, dates and venues as England look to beat Australia

England's men will aim to win The Ashes away from home for the first time in 15 years when they take on Australia this winter.

Since a team led by Sir Andrew Strauss secured a 3-1 triumph in 2010/11, England's Test record down under has been woeful.

Played 15, lost 13, drawn two.

So, will Ben Stokes' blokes buck that trend and regain the urn?

You never quite know what you will get with this England side but it sure will be fun finding out from November 21!

All times UK and Ireland

Ben Stokes (captain), Harry Brook (vice-captain), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Ollie Pope, Matthew Potts, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue, Mark Wood.

Steve Smith (captain)*, Sean Abbott, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Brendan Doggett, Cameron Green, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Michael Neser, Mitchell Starc, Jake Weatherald, Beau Webster.

*Australia captain Pat Cummins will miss at least the first Test with a back injury, so Steve Smith will deputise as skipper in Perth.

What didn't?!

Australia took a 2-0 lead after a nail-biting victory at Edgbaston, secured as an unbroken ninth-wicket partnership of 55 between Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon took the tourists to their target of 281, was followed by a win at Lord's.

The second Test was memorable for England's headless batting against the short ball, a superb century in vain from captain Ben Stokes, and Jonny Bairstow controversially being stumped by Alex Carey after wandering out of his crease.

Three MCC members also clashed with Australia's David Warner and Usman Khawaja in the Long Room as they walked off for lunch on the fifth and final day, with one of those members subsequently banned for life.

After seemingly everyone, including Prime Ministers, had their say on the Bairstow stumping - something Australia skipper Cummins said he had no regrets over enforcing - England triumphed in the third Test at Headingley to keep the series alive.

They looked on course to win the fourth Test at Emirates Old Trafford as well, with Australia in a perilous position before consistent heavy rain wiped out the final day and ensured the Baggy Greens would retain The Ashes.

Still, England dusted themselves down and won the final Test at The Kia Oval to earn a 2-2 draw - the retiring Stuart Broad fittingly taking the last wicket of Carey after his trick of switching the bails had earlier come up trumps ahead of dismissing Todd Murphy.

England did not win THE Ashes, although according to Harry Brook, they did win the "moral" Ashes.

In Australia this winter, though, they want the real Ashes back.
