England Cricket: 2026 Test Series Fixtures

Few sporting contests match the tradition, tension, and theatre of Test cricket in England. The long summer days, historic grounds, and five-day battles of skill and endurance make it the pinnacle of the sport. In 2026, England will welcome New Zealand and Pakistan for two gripping three-Test series.

Test Series: England v New Zealand – June 2026

England will host New Zealand in a highly anticipated three-match Test series in June 2026, with fixtures set at Lord’s, The Oval, and Trent Bridge.

KIA Oval Cricket Ground has been selected as one of the Test Series venues, where England will take on New Zealand.

England and New Zealand share one of cricket’s most respectful rivalries. The two nations produced a World Cup final for the ages in 2019, and in Tests, battles at Lord’s have often set the tone for summers gone by. Trent Bridge, meanwhile, has been the scene of some iconic England wins, including Stuart Broad’s devastating 8–15 against Australia in 2015.

Test Series: England v Pakistan – August – September 2026

Edgbaston Cricket Ground firework display as the T20 gets underway

International Cricket returns to Edgbaston as England will take on Pakistan in Birmingham as part of their Test Series campaign.

Pakistan and England share a deep Test-match history. Lord’s is often considered Pakistan’s “home away from home,” having hosted some of their most famous victories. Headingley, by contrast, has been a ground of resilience for England, not least the unforgettable Ben Stokes innings against Australia in 2019. The series finale at Edgbaston is significant, as it’s the first England–Pakistan Test there since 2016, and the Birmingham crowd is renowned for its passionate energy.

England Cricket: 2026 ODI’s

One-day internationals (ODIs) have long been a favourite with English crowds, combining the structure of traditional cricket with the thrill of fast scoring and dramatic finishes. England’s transformation into a world-class white-ball side over the past decade means that ODI series at home are now among the highlights of the summer. In 2026, India and Sri Lanka arrive to contest back-to-back three-match series.

ODI: England v India – July 2026

Views from the Skyline at Edgbaston Cricket Ground, where England will take on India in a thrilling ODI.

England and India’s ODI rivalry is one of modern cricket’s most explosive. Edgbaston is a particularly fitting venue for the opener—it was here in 2013 that India lifted the ICC Champions Trophy, and the stadium has often been a fortress of noise and atmosphere whenever India play. Lord’s, meanwhile, remains the stage where India famously claimed their first World Cup in 1983.

ODI: England v Sri Lanka – September 2026

Fans celebrate in The Pegasus Lounge as England hit a six against Pakistan in an IT20 match at KIA Oval Cricket Ground

England Cricket fans in London will be looking forward to even more action next year at KIA Oval Cricket Ground!

Sri Lanka have a long history of upsetting the odds in English conditions—none more famous than their 1996 World Cup triumph over England at Faisalabad and their 2014 Test win at Headingley. The Oval finale adds extra flavour, with its London setting often drawing large and lively Sri Lankan support.

England Cricket: 2026 International T20’s

The shortest format of the game has taken cricket to new heights, with big crowds, global stars, and fast-paced contests that can change in a single over. T20 internationals bring a carnival atmosphere to English grounds, with late finishes under the lights and plenty of fireworks on and off the field. In 2026, fans can look forward to blockbuster series against India and Sri Lanka.

IT20 Series: England v India

Few modern rivalries match England v India in T20 cricket. With India’s IPL superstars and England’s aggressive white-ball approach, these matches often become instant classics. Trent Bridge, with its short boundaries, is known for record-breaking six-hitting, while Old Trafford under lights is among the most atmospheric venues in the country.

IT20 Series: England v Sri Lanka

You never know who you could meet in The Pegasus Lounge at Emirates Old Trafford (yes, even Steve Harmison!)

Sri Lanka and England share a long T20 history, including that dramatic World T20 semi-final in 2010, which England won en route to their first global trophy. Old Trafford hosting the finale adds spice, as it’s known for lively crowds and unpredictable finishes.
