Australia Vs England 1st Test Live Streaming, Ashes 2025/26: When, Where To Watch Live Globally? Check Head-To-Head

Test cricket's biggest rivalry starts tomorrow as Australia welcome England for the 1st Test of the Ashes 2025/26 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. The visitors haven't won a series at the land down under since 2010/11 and they will be looking to change that this time around.

England captain Ben Stokes is hopeful that his side can history and join some elite English teams from the past, who have claimed the Urn in Australia.

Stokes will be looking to become only the 6th post-war captain to achieve the feat. Andrew Strauss (2010-11), Mike Gatting (1986-87), Mike Brearley (1978-79), Ray Illingworth (1970-71) and Sir Len Hutton (1954-55) are the only Englishmen to lead their sides to series wins in Australia.

However, the odds are all against England, who also haven't got hold of the Urn since the home 2015 series where they won by 3-2. During their previous tour, they were humiliated by 4-0 against Australia, who will be without Pat Cummins for the 1st Test.

In his absence, Steve Smith will lead the charge in what will be his 7th Test match as captain since his full-time role ended after the Newlands ball tampering controversy in 2018.

His average as captain in Tests (68.98) will surely daunt the visitors, who will know that Smith will once again be the talisman for his side. He has also smashed 17 centuries and 14 fifties as the skipper for Australia in 40 red-ball matches.
