Melbourne Ashes Cricket Tickets 2025/26

Melbourne will host the 4th Ashes Test between Australia and England, starting on Boxing Day 2025.

The Ashes at The MCG

For Kiwi cricket fans looking to experience the Ashes firsthand, there’s no better place than the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The Boxing Day Test is the pinnacle of Test cricket, and Melbourne is the stage where Australia and England will do battle in front of a crowd expected to exceed 95,000 spectators on Day 1. The MCG is where cricketing history is made, and the atmosphere on Boxing Day is nothing short of electric.

With unforgettable Ashes moments like Scott Boland’s 6/7 spell to dismantle England in 2021, the late Shane Warne’s 700th Test wicket, and Don Bradman’s legendary 270 not out, the MCG has seen it all. It’s a venue that players dream of playing at, and the rivalry between Australia and England brings out the best in both sides.

Although Australia holds the edge with 28 wins to England’s 20, the English have a rich history at the MCG and have consistently risen to the occasion in this iconic venue. The MCG is situated just 1km from Melbourne's city centre, right in the heart of a sporting precinct that’s home to some of the world’s greatest events.

About the MCG

The MCG, affectionately known as “The ‘G,” is far more than just a cricket ground. It’s a cultural landmark with a rich history dating back to 1877, when England and Australia faced off in the first-ever Test match. Over the years, the MCG has hosted historic events, including World War II, royal visits, major concerts, and much more.

As the home of the Boxing Day Test, the MCG has witnessed cricketing feats like the world record first-class score of 1107 and the first-ever Test match between Australia and England. It’s also where the first-ever one-day international match took place in 1971, and it’s still setting records today, including hosting the world’s largest crowd for a cricket match at the 2015 Cricket World Cup Final.

The 2025/26 Ashes series will add to the MCG’s legendary history, and there’s no better time to experience it than on Boxing Day, as Australia and England vie for supremacy in this crucial 4th Test.
