1st Test: Headingley, Leeds | June 20-24
The series kicks off in Yorkshire at Headingley, a ground known for its passionate northern crowds and rich cricketing history. From Sir Ian Botham’s heroics in 1981 to Ben Stokes’ miracle innings in 2019, Headingley has been the setting for some of Test cricket’s most iconic moments.
It’s a ground that thrives on drama, and with India looking to make a statement early in the tour, expect fireworks from the very first ball. If you’re planning to attend, don’t miss the atmosphere in the Western Terrace, it’s like no other in English cricket.
2nd Test: Edgbaston, Birmingham | July 2-6
The next game heads to Edgbaston, a venue that consistently delivers high-energy contests. It’s often described as England’s fortress and with good reason. The crowd at Edgbaston brings serious noise, making it one of the most intimidating places to play for visiting teams.
Beyond the cricket, Birmingham is a great city to spend a few days in from its fantastic food scene to buzzing nightlife. With both teams likely to settle into the series by this point, the second Test could be a defining one.
3rd Test: Lord’s, London | July 10-14
A cricketing pilgrimage. There’s no other way to describe a day at Lord’s. Known as the “Home of Cricket,” Lord’s is steeped in tradition, elegance, and history. It’s where legends are made and where every cricketer dreams of scoring a century or taking a five-for.
With the series heating up by the time we get to London, this match will be one of the hottest tickets of the summer. And with premium Lord’s hospitality packages, it’s the perfect place to enjoy cricket in true style.
4th Test: Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester | July 23-27
From tradition to a modern-day powerhouse, the fourth Test moves to Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester. Known for its fast pitch and fantastic facilities, it’s a ground that suits both spinners and seamers, depending on conditions.
Old Trafford has played host to some thrilling Ashes battles in recent years, and with the series potentially on the line, this one could go down to the wire. With great transport links and a buzzing city centre, Manchester is a brilliant place to take in some cricket and enjoy a weekend away.
5th Test: The Kia Oval, London | July 31 – August 4
The series finale takes us back to London for the fifth and final Test at The Kia Oval. There’s something poetic about finishing a series here. The atmosphere is relaxed but electric, and the Oval pitch tends to offer something for both batters and bowlers.
Whether it’s a series decider or a victory lap, the Oval promises to deliver a grand finale. Wrap it all up with a cold drink, rooftop views, and great hospitality just a stone’s throw from the River Thames.
The England vs India Test series 2025 is shaping up to be a summer of epic cricket across five of the UK’s most iconic grounds. With passionate fans, world-class players, and high-stakes drama, it’s the perfect chance to experience the best that Test cricket has to offer.
