England Cricket Fixtures 2027

While the ECB has confirmed 2026 fixtures in full, the 2027 schedule remains largely unofficial pending the Future Tours Programme announcement. What is publicly available comes from aggregated sources and should be treated as indicative.

Future Tours

• Tour of South Africa: December 2026 – January 2027 reportedly includes three Tests and three ODIs (International Cricket Tours)
• Home series 2027: Details expected from the ECB in late 2026; likely to include Australia for the 2027 Ashes cycle

Full FTP

• The complete Future Tours Programme is published by the England and Wales Cricket Board on an annual basis
• Consolidated FTP resources available at Cricschedule.com

The implication for fans is clear: lock in June and August 2026 for home Tests while the schedule is solid, but treat everything beyond that as subject to change until formally announced.

What experts are saying

England’s 2026 home summer represents a rare chance to build red-ball momentum at home, with New Zealand and Pakistan both offering distinct challenges across different conditions.

The three-Test format against New Zealand and Pakistan gives England’s selectors real data points on squad depth heading into the next Ashes cycle.

For fans planning to attend, Lord’s and the Kia Oval are both in central London and easily accessible via public transport. Trent Bridge and Headingley offer a more intimate atmosphere. Tickets for 2026 home Tests are expected to go on sale through the ECB in early 2026.
