England, Australia Confirm Rugby League Ashes Series for 2025

The Rugby Football League has officially confirmed the dates and venues for this year’s Ashes series, marking the first time England will host Australia in rugby league since 2003. The three-match series will take place on consecutive Saturdays, starting on October 25 at Wembley Stadium, followed by Everton's new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium on November 1, and concluding at Headingley on November 8. All matches will be broadcast live on BBC One, with a significant demand for tickets expected. The series revives a historic rivalry, as Australia has dominated the Ashes in the past, winning the last 13 series. This announcement is particularly significant for rugby league amid ongoing governance challenges within the sport. Fans can register for early ticket access starting April 2, ahead of the general sale on April 14.
