1. 2 September 2026
   England International ballot opens. Ballot information and access are provided through host county and venue communications, venue ticketing pages, ECB international ticketing pages, and communications sent to registered We Are England Cricket Supporters.
2. 29 September 2026
   Ballot closes. County Cricket Club priority windows also operate between 2 and 29 September for eligible county members.
3. 1–5 October 2026
   First ballot-winner purchaser window. Successful ballot applicants in this group receive a defined window to purchase. A successful ballot result provides a purchaser window — it does not itself constitute a booking or purchase.
4. 7–13 October 2026
   Final ballot-winner purchaser window. Successful ballot applicants in this group receive their purchaser window. Tickets remain subject to availability and the relevant venue's terms.
5. 14 October 2026
   General sale. Any remaining tickets enter general sale, subject to availability. Purchases take place through official ECB, county or venue ticketing channels.

1. 1
   Registering for updates is not the same as entering the ballot. Registering your interest with a venue or signing up to communications keeps you informed. It does not constitute a ballot entry or a ticket reservation.
2. 2
   Entering the ballot does not guarantee tickets. The ballot allocates purchaser windows to successful applicants. Not every applicant will receive a window.
3. 3
   A successful ballot result provides a purchaser window. Within that window, tickets may be purchased subject to availability and the relevant venue's terms. The window itself is not a confirmed ticket.
4. 4
   General sale is subject to availability. Tickets that have not been purchased during ballot-winner windows will enter general sale on 14 October 2026. Availability at that point depends on what remains unsold.
5. 5
   Venue membership and priority arrangements differ. Some venues provide access through membership or other priority products that run on their own timelines. These are separate from the central ECB ballot and vary by venue.
6. 6
   Purchases take place through official channels. Tickets are available through official ECB, county or venue ticketing sites. Third-party resale listings are not a source of confirmed ticket availability and their existence does not indicate that official tickets have been released.

Each host venue may publish its own registration processes, membership access, priority windows and ticketing pages. These can differ between venues. What applies at one ground does not automatically apply at another.

• Decide which Test or Tests to prioritise and review the confirmed match schedule.

• Review the official ECB ticket timeline and note the ballot dates.

• Register for official communications from the ECB and the relevant host venues.

• Review the official information published by each host venue, as arrangements differ.

• Consider whether a venue membership or priority product is appropriate for their circumstances.

• Avoid treating third-party resale listings as evidence of official ticket availability.

• Avoid committing to non-refundable travel arrangements solely on the assumption that tickets will be secured.
