Well, it’s been an eventful 2025-26 Ashes. After a brutal two day thumping in Perth, a typical loss at the ‘Gabbatoir’ and a stifling defeat in the heat at Adelaide, England have once again fell short in their bid to secure the urn.
But where do you watch it? It has to be 7Plus! Not only do they offer great coverage with an insightful and witty group of pundits…but it’s FREE! This summer, I’ve watched every Test match on 7Plus, and it has consistently outperformed paid services like Kayo Sports, TNT Sports, and Willow TV.
If you’re an Aussie resident, all you need is your postcode and an account, but if you’re not in Australia you can use a VPN to unlock the free streaming site.
