The dates for the Ashes 2027 Test series are confirmed, with the England venues named for the matches. Multiple reports state that two established Test grounds—Old Trafford in Manchester and Headingley in Leeds—are not selected to host any fixtures in the 2027 series. The coverage frames the announcement as an update to the match schedule and locations for the next Ashes in England. While the sources agree on the exclusion of Old Trafford and Headingley, they do not provide details in the provided excerpts about which other grounds will host the remaining Tests, nor do they specify the overall number of matches or the full date-by-date breakdown beyond confirming that the schedule has been set. Overall, the reporting aligns on the key point that the 2027 Ashes will not include matches at those two venues, signalling a change from past host arrangements.
