England cricket returns in May 2026 with a packed summer schedule, but official ballot tickets for several men's matches have already sold out due to unprecedented demand. However, supporters can still secure seats through VIP and hospitality retailer Seat Unique, with prices starting from just £39.
The summer kicks off on 10 May when England Women face New Zealand in the Metro Bank ODI, followed by the men's Rothesay Test Series against New Zealand starting 4 June at Lord's, The Kia Oval and Trent Bridge. Tickets for all five days of each Test remain available through hospitality packages, which include complimentary food, drinks and premium seating. Options range from the Executive Box at £349 per person to the Nursery Pavilion at £599, offering a private balcony and Mound Stand seating.
The England vs India Vitality IT20 Series in July also offers hospitality from £125 per person at venues including Old Trafford and Trent Bridge. Later in the summer, the England vs Pakistan Rothesay Test Series at Headingley, Lord's and Edgbaston has packages from £60. Some packages include all-inclusive food and drink, while others require additional purchases on site.
Fans should be cautious when buying resale tickets on platforms such as Viagogo, Stubhub and Vivid Seats, as resale may be prohibited and tickets could be voided. Resale tickets also may not include hospitality benefits. Those seeking official updates can register interest via the England and Wales Cricket Board website.
