In a groundbreaking move for cricket broadcasting, TNT Sports has secured the exclusive rights to air the 2025-26 Ashes series in the UK. This high-profile deal covers both the men's and women's contests between England and Australia, ensuring fans won't miss a moment of the iconic rivalry.
A New Era for Cricket Coverage
The agreement represents a major coup for TNT Sports, previously known as BT Sport, as it expands its cricket portfolio. The broadcaster will showcase:
- All five men's Test matches
- The complete women's Ashes series
- Exclusive behind-the-scenes content
- Comprehensive analysis and commentary
What This Means for Cricket Fans
While the deal brings exciting coverage, it may require some viewers to adjust their viewing habits. Unlike previous Ashes series on free-to-air television, the 2025-26 matches will be available exclusively through TNT Sports' subscription service.
"This partnership demonstrates our commitment to bringing premium cricket to UK audiences," said a TNT Sports spokesperson. "We're thrilled to deliver comprehensive coverage of this historic sporting event."
The Ashes Legacy Continues
The Ashes remains one of cricket's most storied competitions, dating back to 1882. The 2025-26 series promises to continue this tradition with:
- Intense competition between arch-rivals
- World-class players on both sides
- The unique atmosphere of Test cricket
Cricket authorities have welcomed the deal, noting it will help grow the sport's profile while ensuring high-quality production values for viewers.
