Southampton's Utilita Bowl will host its first Ashes Test in 2027 and become the tenth UK ground to hold a men’s Ashes fixture.
The series is set to begin at Trent Bridge on Friday, 18 June – the first time since 2015 that Edgbaston has not hosted the opening Ashes Test in the UK.
Lord’s will then host the second Test from 30 June, with Edgbaston taking the third on 8 July. The Utilita Bowl will stage the fourth match from 21 July with the final Test at the Kia Oval scheduled to start on 29 July.
Manchester’s Old Trafford and Headingley in Leeds were not selected to host matches in the 2027 series, but have been chosen to feature in the 2031 edition.
England are scheduled to face Pakistan in a five-match ODI series from 15-26 May before finalising their Ashes preparations in a one-off Test against Bangladesh at Lord's from 28 May.
