Three huge England internationals come to Utilita Bowl in 2027, headlined by a landmark Men’s Ashes Test Match between England and Australia.

England Men will begin the international summer at Utilita Bowl with a Metro Bank ODI against Pakistan on Saturday 15 May, before England Women face Australia in a Metro Bank Women’s ODI on Tuesday 13 July as part of the 2027 Women’s Ashes series.
Cricket’s greatest rivalry will then take centre stage from Wednesday 21 to Sunday 25 July, when England Men and Australia meet in a Rothesay Men’s Ashes Test at Utilita Bowl.
Demand is expected to be unprecedented. Register your interest now to be among the first to receive ticket information, priority-access details and on-sale updates.
Ashes Test Match tickets are expected to be in extremely high demand, with priority access likely to play a key role in helping supporters secure their seats.
Supporters who want the best chance of accessing tickets should ensure they understand the priority ticket process before on-sale windows.
Find out more about the routes to priority access, including Hampshire Cricket Membership and Priority Club.
Supporters and businesses looking to experience The Ashes in style can also register their interest in hospitality.
Those who book hospitality for a 2026 fixture at Utilita Bowl will receive priority hospitality access for the 2027 Ashes Test Match.

With demand expected to be exceptionally high, booking hospitality for 2026 is the best way to get ahead for 2027.
Given the scale and demand of The Ashes, and the venue’s consistent record of sell-out England internationals, we expect extremely high demand for this fixture. Most tickets are likely to be secured during Member and Priority Club windows, before reaching the ballot.
The earliest and most reliable way to secure Ashes 2027 tickets is through a Hampshire Cricket Membership, which provides first choice of days, first choice of seats and the highest ticket allowances.
Priority Club is the next-best route, guaranteeing access once the Member windows have closed, before the ballot and general public.
Ticket allowances differ by access group:
Hampshire Cricket Members: Up to 4 tickets per day (depending on membership tenure)
Priority Club: Up to 2 tickets per day
Ballot entrants: Subject to remaining availability
Full allowances will be confirmed closer to on-sale dates.
Fixture dates will be announced by the ECB in summer 2026. You can sign up for updates to be first to hear.
The ballot for the Ashes and England internationals in 2027 will open in late summer 2026.
Priority Club (£35) provides:
Guaranteed access to 2027 England tickets, including The Ashes (after members)
Priority access to high-demand fixtures across the year: England internationals, The Hundred and Vitality Blast
Exclusive event invites, offers, discounts and giveaways
Yes - Priority Club availability will be capped to maintain strong access for all holders.
Yes. Members always receive the earliest access windows and the widest choice of days and seats at the best prices.
Priority Club follows members, then the ballot.
Ashes 2027 priority access applies to Adult Hampshire Cricket Memberships only. Junior Memberships do not include Ashes priority windows.
To receive Member priority access for The Ashes 2027, supporters must hold an active 2027 Adult Membership.
If a 2026 Member does not renew for 2027, they will not receive Member priority access.
Yes. Life Members (dependent on purchase date), Millennium Members and Debenture Holders will receive the earliest level of ticket access for The Ashes 2027.
Hospitality for major internationals frequently sells out at Utilita Bowl, and Ashes hospitality demand is expected to be exceptionally strong. We recommend booking hospitality in 2026 to gain priority access for hospitality to the Ashes.
Availability at the ballot stage is expected to be extremely limited. We recommend securing earlier access through a membership or Priority Club.
