The Ashes

The Ashes is the greatest event in the cricketing calendar, and you can get involved by betting on the outcome. Here at Betfair, you're not limited to just betting on who will win - we’ve got you covered with odds on almost every aspect of proceedings.

This year’s event is held in Australia, and England are famous for having a tough time Down Under. In fact, they haven’t won since the 2010-11 series. Is there a chance that Ben Stokes can pull off the unthinkable and take the urn back home when the series concludes in 2026?

In this guide, we’ll explain exactly how to bet on the Ashes at Betfair. You’ll be able to wager in advance or during the games as you see the action playing out.

When you bet on the Ashes, you have various options such as match or series winner. You can see the odds listed clearly next to each market, and these give you an indication of how likely an outcome is.

Due to Australia’s solid history on home soil, it’s going to be a challenge for England to win back the Ashes.

At Betfair, you can choose among the great variety of The Ashes betting options available, including cricket betting on England in The Ashes 2027 Series Betting at odds of 2.0.

One of the reasons why betting on the Ashes is so popular is because there are so many different markets to stake on. Going for the series result or match result are popular options, but there are so many other aspects of the action that you could explore.

For example, betting on the top run scorer for the series is a great way to add another element of intrigue to the series.

You can also bet on different parts of the match, such as who you think will win the toss. There are odds on who will get the highest opening partnership, over and under bets on the total number of runs scored, and markets on who will take the most wickets.

But will this be enough for the underdogs to triumph? Can England finally topple this ageing Australia side and take back the urn? Find out more on our Betting.Betfair blog, where we have full Ashes betting tips along with stats and predictions on all markets.
