Australia and England begin a three-match one-day international series at Perth Stadium on Friday, November 13, 2026, opening a white-ball tour that also includes five T20 internationals later in the month.
Mitchell Marsh will captain the home side while Harry Brook leads England, according to Yahoo Sports, which published the full broadcast and scheduling details on November 13. The ODIs move to Adelaide and Hobart after Perth, before the teams switch to the shortest format from November 21.
How to watch the Australia vs England ODIs in Eswatini and southern Africa
Viewers in Eswatini can watch the series through SuperSport, whose coverage extends across South Africa and most of sub-Saharan Africa. The SuperSport television channel and the SuperSport app will carry the matches, so local followers of English cricket need only a valid subscription.
Radio coverage in Australia will be provided by ABC Sports, SEN and Triple M. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, TNT Sports holds the television rights, with BBC radio commentary alongside, as Wisden also reported.
Australia vs England ODI 2026 schedule
The first ODI takes place at Perth Stadium, also known as Optus Stadium, on Friday, November 13. The second match follows in Adelaide and the third in Hobart, with the series concluding on November 18.
The five-match T20I series then runs from Saturday, November 21 to Friday, November 27, according to Radio Times.
Start times for each ODI
Each ODI begins at 11:30 a.m. local time in Perth (AWST), which translates to 2:30 p.m. AEDT on the east coast of Australia. For viewers in India, play starts at 9:00 a.m. IST. For listeners in the United Kingdom, that means an early start of 3:30 a.m.
For readers in Eswatini, the Perth start time of 11:30 a.m. AWST corresponds to the early hours of the morning locally, so the SuperSport app's replay and highlight functions will be useful for those who cannot watch live.
Team form going into the series
Australia have won three of their last five ODIs. England have won only two of their last five.
The hosts are coming off a 2-1 ODI tour loss in South Africa, a result that will not have escaped the attention of southern African cricket followers. England, for their part, failed to qualify for the tri-series final involving Sri Lanka and Pakistan. They did, however, win their warm-up match against Western Australia by 92 runs.

Why the series matters
Both sides arrive with questions to answer. Australia, under Marsh, will want to reassert themselves at home after the setback in South Africa. England, under Brook's leadership, are still searching for consistency in the 50-over format after missing the tri-series final.
The Ashes rivals meeting in a white-ball series in November is a fixture the cricket calendar can rely upon, and the Perth opener should give an early indication of where both teams stand, as Sporting News noted in its match preview.
