Well, the 2025-2026 Ashes has been eventful. After two brutal days in Perth, a typical defeat at the ‘Gabbatoir’ and a sweltering defeat in the heat in Adelaide, England have once again failed in their bid to win the urn.
But where do we look at it? It must be 7Plus! Not only do they offer great media coverage with a panel of insightful and witty experts…but it’s FREE! This summer, I watched every test match on 7Plus, and it consistently outperformed paid services like Kayo Sports, TNT Sports, and Willow TV.
If you’re an Australian 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.
