How to follow the Ashes across the BBC

One of the most eagerly awaited Ashes series ever will take place in Australia this winter.

Ben Stokes’ men will be hoping to regain the urn for the first time since 2015 when England last won it in 2010-11.

The series ends in Sydney after the first Test, which will take place in Perth. The schedule is as follows:

With online analysis, in-play and post-play video highlights, live text updates, and online analysis, we will make sure you don’t miss any of the action.

The commentary team will be led by Simon Mann and Jim Maxwell, the country’s top cricket commentator.

The punditry team will include former England spinners Phil Tufnell and Alex Hartley, as well as legendary Australian seamer Glenn McGrath and Ashes-winning captain Michael Vaughan from 2005.

Following the end of play each day, there will be in-play video clips of every significant event on the BBC Sport website and app as well as highlights (only available to UK users).

We’ve got you covered if you want to watch more action. Daily highlights of the action will be broadcast on iPlayer starting at 17:00 GMT each day, and they can be watched on demand (only for UK users).

The action will also be fully covered on the BBC Sport website and app.

Every day, there will be live text commentary followed by reports and in-depth analysis following stumps.

The series’ key moments and performances will be covered in columns written by McGrath, Agnew, and Steven Finn.
