Women's Ashes 2023 preview

The first ever five-day Women's Ashes Test (June 22-26) is the launchpad for a multi-format summer series that sees England attempt to confine Australia's dominance to just shy of a decade. The hosts last won the Ashes in 2014, but the withdrawal of skipper Meg Lanning has put the Southern Stars on the backfoot.

Not only have Australia flourished under Lanning's watch, but her absence will have wider implications for the team as a whole, because Alyssa Healy has been nominated as her stand-in. Healy is already Australia's wicket-keeper and designated opening batsman, so chances are she'll have to step away from the second of those responsibilities in order to turn her attentions to captaining the side.

It can't be seen as anything but a promising development from the perspective of her England counterpart Heather Knight, who's led her team through several outstanding World Cup campaigns but has never managed to win the Ashes as captain. This is looking like her best opportunity to break that duck.

There are four points up for grabs for winning the Test, while each of the subsequent six white-ball games will be worth two points, and you can read on as we explain how to watch a Women's Ashes live stream online from wherever you are, including for free. We've also listed the 2023 Women's Ashes schedule just below.

How to watch Women's Ashes Test from outside your country

Below we've got you covered with your official broadcasting options for cricket loving countries (and the US!), but if you're outside your country of residence - whether that's Australia, the UK or anywhere else - and try to start streaming the Women's Ashes Test via your local broadcaster, you'll soon discover that you can't, as it's location restricted. But there is a way to tune in regardless.

By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it's back at home. That way you can enjoy your home coverage without having to find an illegal stream - assuming you comply with the broadcaster's fine print, of course - specifically its terms and conditions.
