Australia v England | 150th Anniversary Test 2027

150 years of Test cricket. One historic match.

In March 2027, Australia and England return to the Melbourne Cricket Ground to mark 150 years since the first ever Test match was played on this very ground.

This landmark occasion will celebrate the birth of Test cricket, brought into the modern era with a Day-Night Test under the lights of one of the sport's most iconic venues.

It's a chance to witness history, where it began, and you can experience it with Spectate with our official packages.
