The Ashes 2025/26 has landed. The bluster, the bravado and the banter stops as play begins with England seeking glory down under in Australia.
Captain Ben Stokes will lead his men into the ultimate crucible aiming to secure the iconic urn for the first time since 2015.
Australia have won the last three series on home territory, while England have drawn the last two series on British soil.
Joe Root will be gunning to make his first century down under, while Jofra Archer and Mark Wood are fit and raring to fire in the bowling attack.
Fans in the UK face some difficult decisions as to how they follow the Ashes given the time difference, but one thing is for sure: you won't be disappointed if you brave the late nights and early starts. It's going to be a cracker.
