The dates have been confirmed for Utilita Bowl's landmark summer of international cricket in 2027, with the venue's first-ever men's Ashes Test, part of the Rothesay Ashes Series, set to be played from 21 to 25 July.
Utilita Bowl will host the fourth Test of next year's Ashes, becoming only the 10th ground in the UK ever to stage cricket's oldest and most prestigious rivalry.
The Ashes Test forms the centrepiece of a major summer of international cricket at Utilita Bowl in 2027. England Men will take on Pakistan in a Metro Bank ODI fixture on 15 May, while England Women face Australia in a Metro Bank Ashes One Day International on 13 July - three showpiece fixtures now locked in across a single, historic year for the venue.
With dates now confirmed, demand for Ashes tickets is expected to be exceptionally high. Supporters are encouraged to register their interest now at www.utilitabowl.com/ashes to receive the latest information and updates ahead of tickets going on sale.
With Priority Club for 2026 already sold out, supporters seeking priority access to Ashes tickets are encouraged to secure a 2027 membership. More information on 2027 memberships will be released soon.
Demand for hospitality packages for the 2027 Ashes Test is also expected to be exceptionally high. Supporters and corporate guests who have already booked hospitality for Hampshire's 2026 international summer, including the ICC Women's T20 World Cup and England's series against India, will receive priority access to Ashes hospitality.
The England Men's T20 International against Sri Lanka on 15 September 2026 is now the last remaining fixture where hospitality can still be booked to secure this priority access. For more information, click here to buy tickets or email [email protected].

The Ashes is one of the biggest events in world sport, and we're incredibly proud that Utilita Bowl will host the fourth Test Match in the Rothesay 2027 Men's Ashes series from 21–25 July. This is a landmark moment for our venue, Hampshire Cricket and the South Coast, and a testament to the investment we've made in creating one of the world's leading cricket destinations.
David Mann, Chief Executive of Utilita Bowl
We know this will be one of the most sought-after sporting tickets of 2027, and we're looking forward to welcoming supporters from across the UK and around the world for what promises to be an unforgettable five days of world-class cricket.
What makes 2027 even more special is that it will be the culmination of an incredible summer of international cricket. Before the Ashes Test, we'll welcome England and Pakistan for a Men's Metro Bank ODI on 15 May before England and Australia face off in the Metro Bank Women's Ashes Series on 13 July.
To host three of the biggest international fixtures in the space of just a few months, represents both an honour and an opportunity to showcase everything our venue, our region and Hampshire Cricket have to offer on the biggest stage.
Utilita Bowl's blockbuster 2027 summer of international cricket has its dates. The venue's first-ever men's Ashes Test will be played from 21 to 25 July, alongside a home ODI for England Men and a Women's Ashes ODI for England Women.
