AUS vs ENG: Live streaming details, when & where to watch 5th test of The Ashes 2025-26

The fifth and final AUS vs ENG test of the Ashes 2025-26 will begin from Sunday, January 4 at Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney.

Get ready for some thrilling red-ball action as Australia and England are ready to blow punches at each other. The final game of the Ashes 2025-26 is scheduled to begin from Sunday, January 4, at Sydney Cricket Ground. England finally managed to win a test match on Australian soil in the last encounter.

They beat the hosts by 4 wickets at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in the fourth test. This was the first win for England down under since January 2011. Although, the series was already lost, a win in Australia must give the tourists a lot of confidence and hope. Moreover, they earned important ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 points for themselves.

Josh Tongue was the man for England, who was rewarded the MOTM award for his heroics with the ball. For Australia, it was a disappointing batting performance. Gus Atkinson has been ruled out for England, and he has been replaced by Matthew Potts.

For Australia, the big announcement has been made, and Usman Khawaja is set to retire after the fifth test. So, he would be keen to get a win on his farewell. England will try to do the opposite. With a win at MCG, we might see more fight from England, which will add to the thrill for this game.
