You can watch the 2025–26 Ashes live on different broadcasters depending on where you are, with most countries offering at least one main TV channel plus a streaming option. In Australia there is even a free-to-air option and free streaming via Channel 7 and 7plus.

Main options by country

  • Australia
    • Live on Channel 7 (free-to-air) and Fox Sports.
* Streaming on **7plus** for free (account required) and on Kayo Sports as a paid sports streaming service.
  • United Kingdom & Ireland
    • Broadcast on TNT Sports.
* Streaming via **Discovery+** (TNT Sports tier) as the primary online platform.
  • United States
    • Live coverage on Willow TV , a dedicated cricket channel.
* Streaming through services that carry Willow, such as Fubo or Sling, depending on the package.
  • New Zealand & Pacific
    • Coverage on Sky Sport NZ in New Zealand and corresponding regional partners in the wider Pacific.
  • South Asia & other regions
    • In South Asia, coverage is carried by regional sports networks such as JioStar (formerly Disney Star) according to global TV guides.
* In areas without a local broadcaster, ICC.tv sometimes offers paid or free streaming options, especially for women’s Ashes series and selected men’s content.

Watching online or from abroad

  • Free Australian stream from overseas
    • 7plus is geo-restricted to Australia, but guides note that fans outside Australia often access it by connecting through an Australian server via a VPN, then signing up for a free 7plus account.
  • Other streaming routes
    • Many fans use over-the-top services (like Sling in the US for Willow TV, or Discovery+ in the UK for TNT Sports) to watch without a traditional cable subscription.
* Cricket forums frequently maintain “global TV guide” threads that list current channels for each region, which are useful if your country is not in the main lists above.
