Pakistan will tour England for a three-match Test series in August-September 2026, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced on Thursday as part of its home international schedule for next summer. The series will begin on August 19 at Headingley, Leeds, followed by the second Test at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London from August 27, and the third and final Test will be played at Edgbaston, Birmingham, starting September 9. The tour will mark Pakistan's return to England for a red-ball contest after a gap of nearly three years, as the two sides last met in a Test series in England in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
