Today marks 100 days to go until the 2025/26 NRMA Insurance Ashes Series where the Barmy Army is set to take over 3,000 England cricket fans Down Under for what is truly a bucket-list experience for England cricket fans.
Thousands of fans came out in force to support Ben Stokes’ side during the gripping India Test series, which ended in dramatic fashion at the Oval, and the excitement around the winter series in Australia and the current England team has never been greater.
Taking place between 21st November 2025 and 8th January 2026, the NRMA Insurance Ashes Series kicks off in Perth, with a record number of fans expected to travel to Australia for the five-Test series.
The Barmy Army can announce that all of their Escorted Tour Travel packages have now completely sold out for what is the first Ashes tour England fans have been able to travel down under to since 2017/18.
Fans who are still interested in joining the army in Australia for the Ashes are urged to get in touch with the Barmy Army as soon as possible, as the last remaining ‘Hotel & Ticket’ stock is due to sell out soon. The 2025/26 Ashes will without a doubt – be the biggest and best tour to date.
Barmy Army Travel has created inclusive, safe and memorable tours for English cricket fans, whether travelling solo or with friends and family. Whilst on tour, fans will be immersed into the Barmy Army community including the unique matchday atmosphere, created by Barmy Army members and the trumpeter, and have access to Barmy Army HQs, unmissable events and a range of the famous Barmy Army fan merchandise.
To enhance Members’ experience even further Barmy Army Travel have recently partnered with Travello, Australia’s leading excursion provider to allow Members to make the most of their time down under with a comprehensive excursion list at discounted prices. Plus, Barmy Army members receive $20 off their first booking using the code BARMY20.
Chris Millard, Managing Director of Barmy Army, confirmed: “The India Test series was one of our most popular UK series’ to date, and despite the fact England couldn’t quite get over the line in the fifth and final Test against India, it was a fantastic advert for test cricket and certainly created further demand for the Ashes. We are working very hard behind the scenes to ensure that this trip will be a bucket list trip to remember for everyone and can’t wait to get started in 100 days time.”
“Our goal has always been to unite fans through unforgettable cricket experiences, and with our most extensive range of travel packages ever, we’re ready to deliver the biggest and best Ashes tour in Barmy Army history. Whether you’re travelling solo or with mates, it’s going to be something truly special.”
Established in 1994, the Barmy Army has evolved into a world-renowned fan group and supporters’ community of over 50,000 members and a social media following of 2 million people.
Over the last 30 years alone, the supporter’s organisation has successfully taken over thousands of English cricket fans on overseas tours – ranging from the UAE to the West Indies, Australia, India, Pakistan, USA, New Zealand and more.
