The 2022-23 Ashes TV schedule has been confirmed as Australia and England prepare to do battle for the urn over the five Test series. Australia have held the Ashes since December 2017 but are aiming to win their first series in England since 2001, having drawn the 2019 series 2-2.
The 2019 Ashes series will be broadcast exclusively on Channel Nine. ABC Radio will also be covering all five Tests.
Each day of play during the Ashes is scheduled to begin at 8pm (AEST), but the broadcast of each day’s play will begin half an hour before the first ball – at 7:30pm (AEST).
Nine will run pre-game analysis, as well as coverage throughout the breaks, from their studio in Sydney. The actual matches themselves will simply be a simulcast of Sky Sports UK’s coverage.
While the Nine Network have the rights to the Ashes series in 2019, they are expected to be showing the match on their secondary channel, 9Gem, as they did in 2019.
9Gem can be found on Channel 95 in high definition, or 92 in standard definition.
As Channel Nine have the official rights to the Ashes series, to stream the matches online, you’ll need to go through their official live streaming application.
This is known as 9Now and is free to use. All you’ll need to do is sign up with a valid email address.
9Now is available on any device you may own, including mobile, tablet or desktop and laptop.
If you’re going to be on the go and can’t watch the Ashes, then luck is on your side, because the ABC will broadcast very ball of the series over the airwaves.
While they will broadcast some on the radio, it’s understood most of the series may be broadcast online through ABC digital instead due to other programming clashes.
ABC Grandstand’s digital station will broadcast the Ashes around other programming, however, you should also download the ABC Listen App for comprehensive match commentary.
