The 5th and final Test of the Ashes 2025–26 will be played between Australia and England at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
The match starts on Sunday, January 4, 2026, with the first ball scheduled at 5:00 AM IST, making it an early-morning watch for Indian fans.
Australia lead the five-match series 3–1, meaning England cannot win the series anymore, but can still finish strongly with a win in Sydney.
England come into the final Test looking to end the tour on a positive note after winning the previous match and breaking a long losing run in Australia.
Australia have a strong record at the Sydney Cricket Ground and go in as favourites, thanks to home conditions and a settled team combination.
Even though the series result is already decided, the final Test is about pride, confidence, and momentum as both teams look ahead to future tours.
