TNT Sports have won the rights to broadcast this winter\u2019s hotly anticipated Ashes.<\/p>\n

It will be the third successive Ashes series in Australia<\/a> that TNT \u2013 or its forerunner BT Sport \u2013 have aired following the 2017-18 and 2021-22 tours.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports showed the 2013-14 series, but it is understood they had little interest in this winter\u2019s contest despite having the rights for all home England matches.<\/p>\n

TNT\u2019s line-up and production plans for the Ashes<\/a>, which starts in Perth<\/a> on November 21, will not be revealed until nearer the time.<\/p>\n

However, Mail Sport understands they will take a \u2018hybrid\u2019 approach, with presenters and pundits working out of a studio in the UK, but some experts on the ground in Australia.<\/p>\n

They are also likely to have their own commentary team, rather than rely on the feed from the host broadcaster as they have done in the past.<\/p>\n

\"TNT <\/p>\n

TNT Sports have won the rights to broadcast the upcoming Ashes series in Australia\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"TNT <\/p>\n

TNT have shown the last three Ashes series down under and Sky Sports are understood to have had ‘little interest’ in wrestling the rights away from them<\/p>\n

\"England <\/p>\n

England will look to regain the Ashes from Australia when the series starts in Perth on November 21<\/p>\n

TNT\u2019s Ashes deal means the subscription channel will be the home of England matches this winter, having already secured the rights for the white-ball tours of New Zealand in October and Sri Lanka in January.<\/p>\n

Their one-year contract with Cricket Australia also sees them broadcast every men\u2019s and women\u2019s international in Australia from August 2025 to March 2026.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are privileged to be able to bring every ball of this much-anticipated, iconic series to TNT Sports this winter,\u2019 said Scott Young, executive vice president at WBD Sports Europe.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Ashes transcends cricket. This winter, we will have two great sides led by two fantastic captains in Pat Cummins and Ben Stokes go toe-to-toe in one of sports biggest rivalries. It will be compelling, must-watch sporting drama at its finest.\u2019<\/p>\n

England have not won the Ashes in Australia since they triumphed 3-1 in 2010-11. They have not even won a Test Down Under since that series, losing 5-0 in 2013-14 and 4-0 in both 2017-18 and 2021-22.<\/p>\n

The last Ashes in England in 2023 ended 2-2, meaning Pat Cummins\u2019 Aussies still hold the urn.<\/p>\n

Ben Stokes\u2019 side do not have another Test match before the tour Down Under, finishing their summer with a dramatic six-run defeat to India at the Oval on Monday to draw the series 2-2.<\/p>\n
