In the schedule unveiled by Cricket Australia (CA) on Sunday, the 2025-26 international season will be the first ever to feature men's internationals in all eight Australian states and territories.

Australia will begin their international season by hosting South Africa for three men's T20Is and as many ODIs in Mackay, Darwin, and Cairns in August. The T20Is between Australia and South Africa in Darwin will see international cricket return to the Northern Territory after a 17-year hiatus.

It will be followed by India returning to the country for a white-ball series after losing the five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy series 3-1 earlier this year. India and Australia will play three ODIs in Perth, Adelaide and Sydney from October 19-25, while the five T20I will be played in Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Gold Coast and Brisbane from October 29 to November 8.
