Australia have a busy schedule in the 2025-26 season. While the season started with a heartbreak in the WTC 2025 final, they will have to move on quickly to prepare for tough bilateral assignments.
And the Kangaroos have already got to work. They bagged a series victory in the West Indies in July 2025.
Now their eyes will be set on a spicy home summer season. They will host South Africa and India for limited-overs series, while England will touch down for the Ashes.
The Aussies will also have short away trips to New Zealand and Pakistan. And not to forget, the Kangaroos will feature in the T20 World Cup 2026 as well.
That said, here’s Australia’s complete fixture for the 2025-26 season.
