England cricket is set to return in just a few weeks with a series of fixtures that will reignite rivalries against New Zealand and India. This summer, both the men's and women's teams will compete across all formats, including One Day Internationals (ODIs) and the thrilling IT20 Series.
England's 2026 Cricket Calendar
The 2026 season kicks off on May 10 when England Women face New Zealand in the Metro Bank ODI. England Men begin their campaign on June 4 against New Zealand in the Rothesay Test Series at Lord's, The Kia Oval, and Trent Bridge.
The England international ballot closed in September 2025, recording an unprecedented volume of ticket purchases for the men's side. As a result, the national team's own ticket allocation for many venues has already sold out for this year's fixtures.
VIP and Hospitality Tickets Still Available
Supporters can still secure places at the summer's biggest cricket matches through VIP and hospitality retailer Seat Unique. Prices vary by match, with some tickets starting from as little as £39, while others exceed £1,000. The price includes perks such as complimentary food, beverages, and premium seating. Some packages also offer the chance to meet a former player.
Tickets remain available for all five days of England Men's Rothesay Test Series at Lord's. Hospitality options include the Executive Box at £349 per person, featuring a pitch-facing suite with a private balcony seating area. The Nursery Pavilion option at £599 per person provides a complimentary bar in the hospitality lounge and premium seating in the Mound Stand.
Similar packages are available for all five matches in the England vs India Vitality IT20 Series in July. Prices from £125 per person offer premium seats and complimentary food and drink at Banks Homes Riverside, Old Trafford, Trent Bridge, Seat Unique Stadium, and Utilita Bowl.
Looking ahead, supporters can get tickets for the England vs Pakistan Rothesay Test Series at Headingley, Lord's, and Edgbaston from August to September. Packages start at £60 per person and include grandstand, balcony, suite, and executive box options. Grounds like Edgbaston also offer informal standing and seating areas with excellent pitch views.
The full list of England cricket fixtures hospitality packages is available on the Seat Unique website. Note that while many packages include complimentary food and drinks, some require additional purchases at the venue.
A selection of tickets has also appeared on resale platform viagogo for the England vs New Zealand Test Series and England vs India T20. These are sold by fans and may exceed face value, though prices could decrease as matches approach. However, they may not include hospitality perks. Tickets for the opening day of England vs New Zealand start from £111, with limited availability.
Alternatively, supporters can register interest for updates on ticket releases via the official England and Wales Cricket Board website.
