The Ashes 2023 – Live TV Coverage on Sky Sports, Streaming on NOW, Sky GO

The 2023 Ashes series will take place in June and July 2023 with live TV coverage on Sky Sports.

The series of Test cricket matches between England and Australia will be played at Edgbaston, Lord’s, Headingley, Old Trafford and The Oval.

Australia are the holders of the Ashes going into the series, having won the last series at home 4–0.

The series will be the 73rd Ashes series overall and the 37th to take place in England.

This series will also mark the first time in the Ashes’ 139-year history that no Test will take place in August, in an Ashes series hosted by England.

The series was brought forward to June and July, so as not to clash with The Hundred tournament, due to start in August.
