Your definitive guide to watching The Ashes 2023 on TV and live stream this summer. <\/p>
The Ashes is off to a tantalising start with Australia drawing first blood against an England team that will be galvanised after dictating much of the first Test.<\/p>\n
Australian captain Pat Cummins secured the two-wicket victory with a bold batting display on Day 5, but England will take plenty of heart from the showdown as they prepare for the second Test.<\/p>\n
Captain Ben Stokes will lead his men into battle at Lord\u2019s from the 28th June onwards and will not relent in his aggressive, unpredictable attitude to the game as England seek to level the series.<\/p>\n
Fans have savoured the first taste of Ashes cricket this summer and will no doubt return for more given the excitement of the first Test. Should England pick up a Lord\u2019s victory, expect interest to snowball across the country.<\/p>\n
Sky Sports boast exclusive live coverage of all The Ashes drama across the five-Test series, while BBC will also serve up healthy portions of the action \u2013 so everyone can keep track of England\u2019s exploits.<\/p>\n

NOW is also available via BT Sport.<\/p>\n Ahead of the first day of The Ashes 2023, Sky Sports has proven that having the cricket on while working actually improves productivity.<\/p>\n The new research, undertaken by behavioural science experts with over 1,000 cricket fans across the UK, reveals that the disruption caused by switching from work to check the score, known as \u201ccontext switching\u201d, means that it is actually more productive to have the match on while working.<\/p>\n More than half (52%) of respondents say they plan to follow The Ashes via live updates and every time a cricket fan context switches to another tab or app, reports suggest it can take nine and a half minutes for them to get back to a productive workflow, with further research suggesting that it can take up to 23 minutes to return to your original task.<\/p>\n On average, cricket fans check the score 10 times a day (3.5 minutes per time), with over 18% reporting to check multiple times an hour. This means that fans spend on average 30 minutes checking the score per day.<\/p>\n When combined with the impact of \u2018context switching\u2019, it means a whopping 90 minutes to two hours productive work time could be saved per fan per day by allowing them to watch live. This amounts to almost an entire session of a Test match each day, and up to 50 hours across the series!<\/p>\n Office attendance is also set to reduce by 13% during Ashes Tests, including a 30% reduction in those who go in every day. But according to the research, employers who let their teams watch the Ashes can expect to see no drop at all, with attendances set to stay at usual levels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div> <\/section> Date: Friday 16th \u2013 Tuesday 20th June<\/p>\n Venue: Edgbaston<\/p>\n Time: 11am<\/p>\n Date: Wednesday 28th June \u2013 Sunday 2nd July<\/p>\n Venue: Lord\u2019s<\/p>\n Time: 11am<\/p>\n Date: Thursday 6th \u2013 Monday 10th July<\/p>\n Venue: Headingley<\/p>\n Time: 11am<\/p>\n Date: Wednesday 19th \u2013 Sunday 23rd July<\/p>\n Venue: Old Trafford<\/p>\n Time: 11am<\/p>\n Date: Thursday 27th \u2013 Monday 31st July<\/p>\n Venue: The Oval<\/p>\n Time: 11am<\/p>\n Read more: Best cricket players in the world 2023<\/a> | Best cricket players of all time<\/a> | Highest wicket takers in Ashes history<\/a> | Highest run scorers in Ashes history<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n BBC will broadcast Today at the Test on BBC Two, and on BBC iPlayer after the close of play each evening.<\/p>\n The hour-long highlights shows will be presented by Isa Guha and will take you through all of the top moments throughout the day\u2019s play.<\/p>\n Sky Sports will also show regular highlights and replays across their platforms throughout the series.<\/p>\n BBC Test Match Special has the rights to broadcast ball-by-ball commentary of The Ashes, with the team set to bring full coverage throughout every day of action.<\/p>\n Broadcasts will be aired on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and via their online player with build-up of each match starting prior to the time listed above.<\/p> If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and Streaming<\/span> Guide<\/span><\/b><\/a> or visit our Sport<\/a> hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/p>\n Take part in the Screen Test<\/a>, a project from Radio Times and the Universities of Sussex and Brighton, to explore the role of television and audio in our lives.<\/b><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>.
