England Cricket Fixtures 2027: Full Men’s & Women’s Schedule

Cricket fans planning their 2027 calendar already have a lot to work with. England’s men head into the summer looking to avenge a bruising 4-1 defeat in Australia, and they’ll get their shot in a five-Test Ashes series running from Trent Bridge to The Oval, with the Rose Bowl making history as a men’s Ashes venue for the first time.

The women’s side face the same rivals in a full multi-format series of their own, while a World Cup campaign, a World Test Championship Final at The Oval and a one-off Test against Bangladesh round out one of the busiest years English cricket has seen in a while. Here’s the complete fixture list for both sides, home and away.

That’s the shape of the year. Now let’s break down each tour with confirmed venues, dates and start times.

England Tour of South Africa 2027, Test Series (Away Series)

But before getting into the details of each tour, here’s how the year stacks up series by series, so you can see at a glance where the big dates are. Anyone who followed the England Men’s Cricket Team will recognise most of the touring party, since the Test nucleus rarely shifts much between winters.

1st Test: 17 to 21 December, Wanderers, Johannesburg
2nd Test: 26 to 30 December, SuperSport Park, Centurion
3rd Test: 3 to 7 January, Newlands, Cape Town

Straight after the red-ball leg, England switch into white-ball mode for a three-match ODI series. It’s a tight turnaround and a useful early look at squad depth before the home summer gets going in May.

1st ODI: 10 January, Boland Park, Paarl
2nd ODI: 13 January, Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein
3rd ODI: 15 January, Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein

Women’s 2027 Champions Trophy (Away Series)

England’s women start their year with global silverware on the line rather than a bilateral series. Fixtures for the Champions Trophy haven’t been released yet, but the tournament itself is confirmed for Sri Lanka, and it gives the squad a competitive block before the Ashes takes over their summer. Squad news closer to the tournament will build on what’s already been laid out in the England Women’s Cricket Team.

Tournament runs: 14 to 28 February, venues across Sri Lanka
Full fixtures: to be confirmed

England Tour of Australia 2027, 150th Anniversary Test (Away Series)

MCG 150th Anniversary Test (Away Series) — **Source:** Sky Sports

This one is a standalone, a single Test at the MCG marking 150 years since the first ever Test match was played there. It won’t count towards any World Test Championship points, but a Test against Australia on Australian soil never needs an excuse to matter.

Anniversary Test: 11 to 15 March, Melbourne Cricket Ground

Pakistan Tour of England 2027, ODI Series (Home Series)

The home summer opens gently enough on paper, a five-match ODI series against Pakistan that gives the white-ball squad a full run out before Bangladesh and Australia arrive. Expect plenty of rotation here as selectors manage workloads ahead of the Ashes.

1st ODI: 15 May, 11am, Utilita Bowl, Southampton
2nd ODI: 19 May, 1pm, Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester
3rd ODI: 21 May, 11am, Headingley, Leeds
4th ODI: 23 May, 11am, Banks Homes Riverside, Chester-le-Street
5th ODI: 26 May, 1pm, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff

Bangladesh Tour of England 2027, One-off Test (Home Series)

A single Test at Lord’s against Bangladesh sits right before the Ashes begins, and it’s the kind of fixture that can go under the radar. It shouldn’t. It’s the last proper red-ball rehearsal before the biggest series of the summer starts.

Only Test: 28 May to 1 June, 11am, Lord’s, London

World Test Championship Final at The Oval

Before a ball is even bowled in the Ashes, The Oval hosts the World Test Championship Final for the second time. It’s a neutral fixture between whichever two sides qualify, but for London cricket it means back to back weeks of Test cricket at the highest level.

WTC Final: 9 to 13 June, Kia Oval, London

Australia Tour of England 2027, The Ashes (Home Series)

Here’s the fixture the whole summer is really built around. England go looking for revenge after a 4-1 hammering down under, and they get five full Tests to do it, including a first men’s Ashes Test at the Rose Bowl and the traditional finale at The Oval. Anyone tracking the country’s great run scorers, including where the Top 10 Best Batsman in England sit, will be watching closely to see who adds to that list this summer.

1st Test: 18 to 22 June, 11am, Trent Bridge, Nottingham
2nd Test: 30 June to 4 July, 11am, Lord’s, London
3rd Test: 8 to 12 July, 11am, Edgbaston, Birmingham
4th Test: 21 to 25 July, 11am, Rose Bowl, Southampton
5th Test: 29 July to 2 August, 11am, The Oval, London

Australia Women Tour of England 2027, The Ashes (Home Series)

The women’s Ashes lands soon after their Champions Trophy campaign, and it comes with real needle attached, England and Australia met in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 Final earlier this year, with Australia coming out on top. This series gives England a direct shot at settling that score across a full multi-format points table.

Only Test: 24 to 27 June, 11am, Headingley, Leeds (first women’s Ashes Test there since 2001)
1st T20I: 3 July, 7pm, Trent Bridge, Nottingham
2nd T20I: 6 July, 6.30pm, The Oval, London
3rd T20I: 9 July, 7pm, Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester
1st ODI: 13 July, 1pm, Rose Bowl, Southampton
2nd ODI: 16 July, 1pm, Lord’s, London
3rd ODI: 20 July, 1pm, Edgbaston, Birmingham

New Zealand Tour of England 2027 (Home Series)

Once the Ashes wraps up, attention turns straight to the World Cup, and this New Zealand series is the last proper dress rehearsal. Three T20Is come first, followed by a five-match ODI series that should tell selectors plenty about their World Cup squad.

1st T20I: 7 September, 6.30pm, Banks Homes Riverside, Chester-le-Street
2nd T20I: 9 September, 6.30pm, Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester
3rd T20I: 11 September, 2.30pm, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff
1st ODI: 14 September, 12.30pm, Edgbaston, Birmingham
2nd ODI: 16 September, 12.30pm, Lord’s, London
3rd ODI: 19 September, 10.30am, Seat Unique Stadium, Bristol
4th ODI: 22 September, 12.30pm, Trent Bridge, Nottingham
5th ODI: 25 September, 10.30am, Headingley, Leeds

Bangladesh Women Tour of England 2027 (Home Series)

England’s women close their home summer against Bangladesh, a series that’s as much about building squad depth as it is about results. Fringe players will get a proper look in here before winter tours are locked in.

1st T20I: 8 September, 6.30pm, cinch County Ground, Northampton
2nd T20I: 10 September, 6.30pm, Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton
3rd T20I: 12 September, 2.30pm, New Road, Worcester

Cricket World Cup 2027

The men’s calendar ends with the biggest prize of all, the Cricket World Cup, co-hosted across South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Fixtures haven’t been released, but the tournament window alone tells you England will be building their squad around this from the moment the Ashes finishes.

Tournament runs: 4 October to 21 November, venues across South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia

If you’re still catching up on where the previous year left off, the England Cricket Team 2026-27 Full Fixtures covers everything that led into this calendar, and it’s worth a read before the South Africa tour gets going in December.

England’s 2027 Summer Builds Towards an Ashes Rematch on Both Fronts

So that’s the full picture, both England sides carrying an Ashes defeat into 2027 and both getting a proper chance to put it right at home. The men’s five-Test series and the women’s multi-format campaign sit at the centre of a year that also includes a World Test Championship Final, a Champions Trophy and a World Cup.

Cricket Insider UK will keep updating this page as the Champions Trophy and World Cup fixtures get confirmed, so it’s worth bookmarking if you’re planning your summer around any of it.
