Australia Men's Cricket Schedule 2026-27: Full Fixture List
Australia's men’s cricket team faces a formidable 2026-27 schedule, packed with both white-ball and red-ball cricket. The period features ODI and T20I series against Pakistan, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and England, before a packed home summer and a four-Test New Zealand series. Australia will then head to India for a challenging five-Test tour, capped off by the historic 150th Anniversary Test against England at the MCG. This demanding stretch will test the squad's depth, especially among pace bowlers, and marks one of the busiest schedules in Australian cricket history.

Australia Men's Cricket Schedule 2026-27: Full Fixture List
Australia's men are in for one of the most demanding stretches in recent memory. From a spin-heavy ODI tour of Pakistan right through to a five-Test series in India and a historic 150th Anniversary Test against England at the MCG, the next 12 months will test the depth of Australian cricket like few periods before it.
The workload is extraordinary. Up to 21 Tests are on the horizon across the 2026-27 cycle, alongside white-ball commitments on multiple continents. The pace bowling stocks will be under serious pressure with four Tests against New Zealand in just over a month over the Christmas period alone, with turnarounds as tight as three days between matches.
The white-ball schedule is no less demanding, with ODI series in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, South Africa and against England at home all crammed in before the New Zealand Tests begin. Then comes the main event: a full five-Test series in India in early 2027, one of the toughest assignments in world cricket.
Below is the full men's schedule broken down by series, with Sydney (AEST/AEDT) start times throughout.
