Follow the summer of cricket across South Africa
Let’s be honest: every cricket fan dreams of following their team to South Africa.
From the high-altitude intensity of Johannesburg to the coastal beauty of Cape Town, England’s 2026/2027 tour of South Africa unfolds across all of these dream playgrounds for cricket fans, with matches taking place in some of the most iconic settings in world cricket.
The Test series begins at the Wanderers, where pace and bounce create a fierce opening chapter, before moving to the fabled Centurion for a Boxing Day Test that looks set to be an all-timer. The series then concludes at Newlands, world-renowned as one of the most picturesque grounds in the game, where Table Mountain forms an unforgettable backdrop to the final Test.
As the red ball gives way to white, the move from Test to ODI brings a quicker pace. Paarl offers a more intimate setting at Boland Park, while Bloemfontein hosts back-to-back fixtures, bringing the series to a dynamic close.
Each venue brings its own character, its own rhythm (from highveld intensity to coastal breeze), and its own sense of occasion; creating a journey that is as compelling beyond the boundary as it is on the pitch. This is a rare opportunity to experience the full narrative of a major international tour, shaped around South Africa’s most celebrated venues.
