The Men's Ashes Series 2026
Cricket’s greatest rivalry returns to the SCG
The Ashes are back on Australian soil, bringing one of the most iconic and fiercely contested series in world sport to the historic Sydney Cricket Ground. This summer, Sydney hosts the fifth and final Test – five days where history is written, legends rise, and the city comes alive with cricket fans from around the world.
A stadium steeped in sporting history
Few venues carry the weight and atmosphere of the SCG. As the final Test unfolds, you’ll feel the energy from the first ball to the last – the roar of the crowd, the tension of each session, and the unmistakable buzz that only Ashes cricket delivers.
Whether you’re here for one day or settling in for all five, the SCG’s blend of heritage and electric match-day spirit makes it one of the best places in the world to watch the game.
Make a weekend of it
When the stumps are drawn, you’re perfectly placed to explore Sydney your way.
From Hotel Woolstore 1888, you can reach the SCG with ease by Light Rail from the nearby Convention Station. After the match, return to Pyrmont for an evening that winds down just the way you like it — a glass of red at Percy, dinner along the Darling Harbour waterfront, or a relaxed stroll through the neighbourhood as the city softens into twilight.
