This is the sort of ticket announcement that makes supporters sit up straight. Trent Bridge has put its 2027 England tickets on sale, and the headline act is as big as it gets: the Men’s Ashes return to West Bridgford for the first time since a previous home win over Australia. That is not merely a date in the calendar. It is the kind of summer appointment that shapes planning months, even years, in advance.
And Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club is not pretending this is just another routine release. The 2027 package already carries enough weight on its own, with three internationals lined up at Trent Bridge. Add the Ashes into the mix and the message is obvious: if you want a seat for one of the marquee fixtures of the summer, you had better understand the timetable.
Which internationals are coming to Trent Bridge?
The centrepiece is England and Australia in the first Rothesay Test of the series, running from Friday 18 June 2027 to Tuesday 22 June 2027. That is followed by a Women’s Ashes IT20 on Saturday 3 July 2027 at 7pm, before England and New Zealand meet in a Metro Bank One Day International on Wednesday 22 September 2027 at 12.30pm.
That is a strong spread of cricket, but the obvious emotional pull comes from the Men’s Ashes. When Australia are involved at Trent Bridge, the temperature rises. When they are involved in the first Rothesay Test of an Ashes series, it stops being a normal ticket release and becomes a race for access.
How the ticket window works
The staggered sale is just as important as the fixture list. From today, supporters with Nottinghamshire memberships for 2025, 2026 and 2027 are able to purchase tickets. Until 10am Thursday 6 August, 2025-27 members have exclusive access. From 10am Thursday 6 August, supporters with 2026 and 2027 memberships gain access. From 10am on Wednesday 12 August, all other 2027 members can buy.
Then comes the next stage: the ticket ballot opens on Wednesday 2 September, with remaining seats available to ballot winners on Tuesday 6 October.
It is a tidy system, but also a reminder of how quickly the big days at Trent Bridge disappear. The headline fixture is the Men’s Ashes return, the schedule is loaded, and the access window is already moving in stages. For anyone who wants England tickets in Nottingham, this is not a matter of casual interest. It is a calendar problem that needs solving now.
