## Where it stands

The ballot opens 10:00 on 2026-09-02 and closes at midnight on 2026-09-29, per Edgbaston's own published ticket timeline. Edgbaston's Test is the third of the series, 8-12 July 2027. Registering interest for the ballot and 2027 Priority Club membership (GBP 50) opened at 10:00 on 2026-07-23.

## How to enter

Register interest at edgbaston.com (open since 10:00 on 2026-07-23), then enter the ballot when it opens at 10:00 on 2026-09-02. The ballot closes at midnight on 2026-09-29. General sale for anything left opens 10:00 on 2026-10-14. Members and Priority Club holders are served before the ballot closes.

## Your odds

No odds published. The paid routes (membership, GBP 50 Priority Club, and buying the September 2026 Pakistan Test) all buy access ahead of the ballot closing, so the free ballot draws from what is left after them.

## Good to know

Official ticket timeline published by Edgbaston (verified 2026-07-26): 23 July 2026 10:00 register interest for the ballot and 2027 Priority Club on sale; 2 September 2026 10:00 ballot opens and 2027 membership on sale; 29 September 2026 midnight ballot closes; 14 October 2026 10:00 general sale subject to availability. ECB confirmed the five 2027 Ashes venues on 14 June 2023 and the exact fixture dates on 23 July 2026, which makes Edgbaston the third Test (8-12 July 2027), not the opener that media reports had suggested. Edgbaston also hosts the 3rd Women's Ashes ODI on 20 July 2027.
