England's Ashes series in Australia to be shown by TNT Sports
Following the thrilling 2-2 Test series draw with India, Ben Stokes' side will travel to Australia, starting with the first Test in Perth in November, with the five-Test series concluding in January.
TNT Sports have now been confirmed as the broadcast rights holders in a deal that will also include all international fixtures staged in Australia until March 2026.
The previous two away Ashes series, in 2017-18 and 2021-22, were shown by BT Sport, which later became TNT Sports following a takeover in 2023.
Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg said: "We're pleased to extend our longstanding partnership with TNT Sports and that they will again be instrumental in showcasing the Australian summer of cricket to UK audiences."
The deal includes Australia men's white-ball series against South Africa and India this autumn and the women's team's multi-format series against India in February and March next year.
TNT Sports already had the rights to England's white-ball tours of Ireland and New Zealand in September and October respectively, and Sri Lanka in March 2026.

'Hate the way we encourage it': Gould blasts NRL's promotion of post-try act
Canterbury boss Phil Gould has blamed over-the-top post-try celebrations for the ugly scenes that marred the Wests Tigers' shock win over the Bulldogs last Sunday. Three Tigers players were issued official warnings by the NRL for using an offensive Middle Eastern hand gesture – known as the 'khawd' – towards Dogs fans after scoring the match-sealing try at CommBank Stadium. A fourth player – Tigers centre Brent Naden – was handed a breach notice for using the gesture in a social media post in the hours after full-time. "The NRL acknowledges that these actions caused, or had the potential to cause, offence to members of the NRL community," a statement from the governing body said. 'Separately, the NRL has issued a breach notice to Wests Tigers Player Brent Naden. The notice alleges that Naden's conduct following the Wests Tigers match on 3 August 2025 contravened the NRL Code of Conduct. The Player will have five days to respond to the breach notice.' Canterbury enjoy a strong Arabic fan base, with many upset by the actions of Tigers players. Asked if any of his players were offended by the hand gesture, club supremo Gould told the' Six Tackes with Gus' podcast: "I don't know…I haven't asked." Phil Gould criticises post-try celebrations in general But Gould was keen to elaborate on post-try celebrations in general, condemning the actions of players and warning it could lead to crowd trouble. That's despite 'Try July' – an NRL/Sportsbet initiative which encourages players to perform animated routines after scoring - raising close to $2 million for various causes since its inception in 2020. Gould said: "I hate all the post-try celebration stuff. I hate the way we encourage it and promote it. I hate the way we promote the way the players react to the fans. When you score a try, celebrate with your teammates. I don't like all that (carry on). But if you want to promote all that and do all that, then you're going to get this sort of stuff." RELATED: Roosters star whacks NRL after teammate banned until rule change Eels rocked as third player reportedly asks for immediate release Stunning news about Latrell Mitchell as Bennett axing divides Gould did not mention Try July by name, but hinted the hype surrounding such promotions risks causing trouble. "I don't like post-try celebrations. I don't like players running up to the crowd and celebrating, because that leads itself to whatever you're going to get," he said. "The league will deal with this (Tigers incident). But if you keep wanting to promote that stuff… you want the rain, you better put up with the mud. This is what it's going to lead to."

Hawks coach confident injury-plagued star will be back
Sam Mitchell has pointed to Jesse Hogan as an example of what is still possible for injury-plagued Hawthorn star Will Day. Day has suffered more bone stress in his navicular, ending the midfielder's AFL season. With Josh Weddle already sidelined for the rest of 2025, Day's latest foot problem is a fresh blow for the Hawks as they battle to stay in the top eight. They face a massive test on Thursday night against Collingwood, who similarly need a win after dropping three of their last four games. While navicular injuries can be notoriously tough to heal and have ended AFL careers, Mitchell is upbeat about Day overcoming his foot problem. He noted Hogan has overcome navicular injuries to star at GWS. You'd never know he was gone. Will Day with a hanger! 😭#AFLHawksBlues — Hawthorn FC (@HawthornFC) July 24, 2025 "I'm 100 per cent confident that he'll be back and back consistently," Mitchell said of Day. "He's a pro and our medical team will work really hard ... Jesse Hogan's had some similar stuff in his career and he's obviously put together a pretty good few years." Mitchell added Day is coping well with this latest setback. He managed only six senior games this season. "He's not too bad, he'll be on the bench for us tomorrow night, so he's in a pretty good head space," Mitchell said. "His navicular site, where he had the surgery, looks pretty good. He has some bone stress in some other parts of his foot - it obviously changed the mechanics of his running. "It's an issue for us, trying to get him back out and ready for the season ... but he's not back to square one. "He's still a fair way through his process of getting back." While Hawthorn are coming off a loss to Adelaide, Mitchell said they are making progress as they try to match it with other top-eight heavyweights. "We want to put ourselves into a position where we play big games against big clubs and we play in a style that can compete and win those games," he said. "Now, can we compete in those games? Absolutely. Everyone watched our game against Adelaide last week and said that's two pretty good teams going at it. "You don't throw the baby out with the bath water and say we're not good enough. We need to refine a couple of things in our game and handle those moments. "You look at Collingwood's last month - it's pretty easy to say they've lost three out of four, but they've played pretty good footy. Both teams are in pretty good form without getting the points."
