Where it stands

As of 7 Jul 2026

Not yet open as of 2026-07-07. 2027 home fixtures not yet announced (expected around July 2026 based on prior years; ECB site checked 2026-07-07 still shows only 2026 ticket info). Utilita Bowl officially states the 2027 ballot opens in late summer 2026, with venue member and priority windows preceding the public ballot

How to enter

Sign up free to We Are England Cricket Supporters at ecb.co.uk now; when the ballot opens enter via links in WAECS emails, the ECB website/app and host venue/county ticketing pages (a dedicated ECB 2027 tickets page is expected, mirroring the 2026 cycle)

Your odds

Randomised draw. Ashes summers are the most oversubscribed in English cricket; ECB reported record demand for England Women and 'unprecedented sales for England Men during the ballot' even for the 2026 non-Ashes summer, with venues selling out

Good to know

Dates 2026-09-01/2026-09-30 are ESTIMATES projected from the official 2026-cycle window (2 Sept - 30 Sept 2025, some counties with alternative dates) and Utilita Bowl's official statement that 'the ballot for the Ashes and England internationals in 2027 will open in late summer 2026'. No official 2027 ballot dates published as of 2026-07-07. General sale follows once ballots and priority windows conclude (autumn 2026 expected). Utilita Bowl pages block automated fetching (HTTP 403) but their wording was corroborated via search-indexed content. Verified 2026-07-07
