Australia are the holders of the Ashes going into the series, having won the last series 4–0.[4] The series will form part of the 2023–2025 ICC World Test Championship.

The series will be the 73rd Ashes series overall and the 37th to take place in England. This series will also mark the first time in the Ashes' 139-year history that no Test will take place in August, in an Ashes series hosted by England. The series was brought forward to June and July, so as not to clash with The Hundred tournament, due to start in August.[5]
