Australia will start their 2026-27 home season earlier this time. They will start things off in mid-August before they end the season with a historic one-off Test in March.
In between, the Aussies will play 15 matches across three formats. Seven of those are red-ball fixtures, while eight are limited-overs games.
Here’s a detailed look at Australia’s 2026-27 home cricket schedule.
Australia vs Bangladesh | August 2026
Australia will host another Test series up north in winter. This time, Bangladesh will visit for two Tests.
Notably, this will be the first Test series between both sides in Australia since 2003. That series also took place in the Northern Territory and Queensland.
This time as well, Darwin will host the first Test starting August 13. The second Test, meanwhile, will take place in Mackay starting August 22.
