The Ashes 2013 series is a forthcoming series of Test cricket matches to be contested between England and Australia. The five venues are confirmed for the series: Lord's, Old Trafford, Trent Bridge, the Riverside Ground and The Oval. There were questions as to whether Lord's would host an Ashes match. It would have been the first time since the 1882 Ashes series that an Ashes series in England would be without Lord's as a host venue. However, when the venues were announced on 22nd September 2011, Lord's had cemented its place as the opening test match.
The Australian live television rights to the series will be shared by Fox and Channel 9 Fox Sports, and the British rights by Sky Sports.
The Ashes 2013 series will be the first of two back-to-back Ashes series. Due to an intent to break the cycle of an Ashes series being held directly before a Cricket World Cup, the Ashes are being brought forward in the schedule by one year, starting with the 2013/2014 series in Australia.
