Sky Sports to show England men's tour of South Africa this winter plus Australia men's tour in coming weeks
Sky Sports and Cricket South Africa extend longstanding partnership, with Sky Sports and NOW to exclusively broadcast the 2026/27 men's and women's international tours, including England men's three-Test and three-ODI tour of South Africa this winter
England's three-Test series against South Africa will take place across December and January, marking England's first Test tour of South Africa in seven years.
The series follows England's first-ever home Test series whitewash of Pakistan and will be Stephen Fleming's first series in charge as England men's Test head coach.
The Test series will be followed by three ODIs in January, as England prepare for the ICC Men's World Cup 2027, which will take place across South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia in October and November next year.
Sky Sports will broadcast live coverage of a packed schedule of international cricket from South Africa, with Australia men's tour getting under way this Thursday with the first of three ODIs in Durban, followed by three Tests.
The schedule will then continue with tours involving Bangladesh, India Women and Australia Women through to April.
Sky Sports has broadcast cricket from South Africa for more than three decades, including live coverage of every England men's Test series in the country during that period.
The agreement further strengthens Sky Sports' position as the home of cricket, broadcasting all home England men's and women's international and domestic cricket, with the men's Ashes on home soil next summer set to be a major highlight.
