Having won cricket's ultimate prize on Australian soil, they'll now aim to do so again in the UK this weekend.

There's over a hundred years of history on the line. So, here's our guide to getting tickets and seeing the action unfold live.

The Ashes 2023: what to expect from the series

With England not having won the prestigious trophy since 2015, Australia will once again enter the test series as favourites.

The last series saw England almost whitewashed, managing to scrape a draw in the fifth and final test to avoid a 5-0 drubbing at the hands of their fiercest cricketing rivals.

This year, England has managed to improve - with one win and one draw after initially losing two tests.
