The second match of the Rothesay Men's Ashes Series will take place at Lord's starting on Wednesday 30 June. Every Ashes Test match at Lord's is a special occasion, and the 2027 edition will be no different.

Having recently vied for ICC Women's T20 World Cup glory at Lord's, England and Australia Women will clash again during the Metro Bank Women's Ashes Series. Lord's will host the second Metro Bank ODI in the multi format series on Friday 16 July.

That's not all during a massive 2027 international summer. England Men will welcome Bangladesh to Lord's for the first time since 2010 in a Rothesay Test match, starting on Friday 28 May, as they prepare for the impending Ashes series.

Finally, New Zealand Men return to Lord's once again for a Metro Bank One-Day International against England Men on Thursday 16 September.

Under-16 ticket holders must be 15 years or younger on the day of the match. Any child ticket holder 14 years and younger must be accompanied by an adult ticket holder.  

Please note that, as per our Terms and Conditions, applications for Junior Tickets can only be made together with an Application for an Adult Ticket;    

Any babes-in-arms may be carried into the ground free-of-charge, so long as they will not occupy a seat themselves. A ticket is required for any child three years of age or over on the day of the match.

You won’t need to select seats during your initial ballot application. If you're successful, you’ll be able to choose your seats during the purchase process - on a first come, first served basis from the tickets available.

  11. If successful, you will be notified by email from Tuesday 17 November, with instructions on how to purchase your tickets. 

If you are applying for wheelchair-seating and are in a group of more than two people, we will make every effort to locate your group as close to each other as possible, but please note that due to space restrictions in Wheelchair-areas, it may not always be possible for the seats to be immediately adjacent. 

For Ambulant seating, the applicant should select general seating as part of their application. Upon completion you will receive a confirmation email, which contains a link to an online form in which you can share your accessibility requirements. Should you be successful in the ballot, we will cross-reference the information provided and make every effort to allocate seating suitable to your needs.  

We are pleased to provide one complimentary ticket to any ticket holder that requires a carer to accompany them on a match day, in addition to your own ticket, which will be reduced in price to Category D.  Please also complete the form that is linked in the confirmation email to make us aware of your requirements. 

For more details regarding Accessibility at Lord’s, please review this webpage: Accessibility | Lord's (lords.org) or call our dedicated Accessibility ticket line on 020 7616 8653.

To ensure a welcoming environment for all, Lord's have a Family Area / No Alcohol option for the 2027 season. The importation or consumption of any alcoholic drinks into these areas shall not be permitted. If you are interested in seating in these areas, please select the ‘Family Area / No Alcohol’ ticket type option when completing your ballot application for the relevant match day.  

Please note that this area is not strictly reserved for family groups but for all ticket holders who would prefer to watch cricket in an alcohol-free environment. 

All successful applicants will be notified of their successful application by email from Tuesday 17 November with further details on how to purchase their tickets.

You are not obliged to purchase the tickets you win, but if you do not purchase them by the date specified, they will be released.  

Following the ballot, we will make all remaining international match tickets available for purchase during our general sale which opens on Thursday 10 December.  

If the match day you want to attend is initially showing as unavailable, we encourage you to click on the "Join Waitlist" button. In the build up to the 2027 season, we are likely to receive some additional inventory back from our partners. Once these tickets are made available to purchase, we will contact this group first, giving those on the "Join Waitlist" priority ahead of the wider public.

All Public Stand tickets for 2027 will be available via the Lord’s App before the 2027 fixture you are attending.
 
Ticket holders will require an Android or Apple smartphone to download the App. For more information on the Lord’s app, please click below.

Premium category seating is not available via the Public Ticket Ballot. However, our Premium Seating team would be delighted to hear from you. 

Please refer to Premium Seating below.

Premium Seating

Inside Lord’s Premium will entitle you to an early-access ticketing window from 30 October to 3 November ahead of the public Ballot. Tickets for selected international matches will be available on a first-come, first-served basis during the Premium ticket window, so please note that early access does not guarantee ticket availability.

The ticket limits for Inside Lord’s Premium subscribers are:

  • Up to 2 tickets for one day only of the Men’s Ashes Test (not 2 tickets per day)

  • Up to 10 tickets for each day of the Bangladesh Test

  • Up to 10 tickets for the Women’s Ashes ODI

  • Up to 4 tickets for the Men's ODI v New Zealand

Please note: there will be 500 pairs of tickets for each day of the Men's Ashes available to Inside Lord's Premium subscribers to buy in their priority window. These tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Further details on how to access this priority window will be shared with subscribers soon. We expect strong demand across all the 2027 internationals. If you wish to attend multiple match days, or you would like to purchase more tickets, we strongly encourage you to enter the public ballot as well.

Should you have friends and family members who are also applying in the ballot in the hope of attending the same match day, you will need to submit separate ballot applications. In the event you are successful in the ballot for the same match day, you can link your accounts and combine the purchase limit to buy adjacent seats.  

You can add other applicants to your Friends & Family group (up to a maximum of a group of twenty five). You do not need to add anyone to your Friends & Family group until after you have all submitted your ballot applications.

Following this, one member of the group can head online to tickets.lords.org during the allocated window and organise seats together for everyone in your group who is successful in the ballot.

You can add people to your Friends & Family group here. Please note that you will need their ‘Supporter ID’, which can be found in their ballot summary email as their ‘Client Reference Number’.
