2026–27 Australian Cricket Season

A Packed Season of World-Class Cricket

The 2026–27 Australian cricket season is one of the most significant in years. After Australia's emphatic 4–1 Ashes retention over England in 2025–26, the home calendar turns to a blockbuster Test season featuring Bangladesh in August (including historic first Tests in Darwin and Mackay), England's white-ball tour in November, and a marquee four-Test series against New Zealand from December through January. The Big Bash League returns for its summer spectacle, and the Women's Big Bash runs concurrently. The next Ashes in Australia is scheduled for 2029–30 — but the 2026–27 season delivers its own compelling cricket from first ball to last.

Guest Reviews

What Cricket Fans Say

★★★★★

The Boxing Day Test package was perfect from start to finish. The seats were exceptional — far better than anything I could have sourced independently. Our guide Marcus knew the history of every player and turned lunch into a seminar on Australian cricket strategy. Already re-booked for the New Year Test.

Jason T.

MCG Boxing Day Test Package
★★★★★

Perfect Big Bash weekend with the family. The kids were riveted by the fireworks and the guide explained the T20 strategy in a way that had our nine-year-old completely absorbed. Cooee handled everything — the hotel, transport, seats, and dietary requirements. Will be booking every BBL season from now.

Big Bash Weekend Spectacular
★★★★★

As a solo traveller, I was uncertain. By drinks at the end of Day 1, I had four new friends who shared exactly my enthusiasm for Sheffield Shield cricket. The intimate ground access was something I'd never have managed alone. Genuine value — and the traditional cricket lunch was extraordinary.

Absolutely — approximately 40% of Cooee cricket tour guests travel solo.

For overnight packages, shared twin-room options are available to avoid single supplements — call 0409 661 342 to discuss.

Test and Shield matches naturally accommodate weather delays within the match schedule. For BBL T20 matches where play is significantly reduced or cancelled, we work with venues to secure alternative match-day experiences, refunds where available, or credits toward future tours. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering trip cancellation for all cricket packages.

Yes — Big Bash League tours are ideal for families. Evening matches, fireworks, music, and the T20 format keep children engaged throughout. Our guides calibrate their commentary for the group, including younger members. Test match tours suit older children (10+) with patience for longer formats. Please advise children's ages when booking — we confirm age-appropriate venues and seating arrangements.

The most recent Ashes in Australia was 2025–26, which Australia won 4–1. The next Ashes series in England is scheduled for 2027. The next Ashes series in Australia (the home Ashes) is expected in the 2029–30 season.
