Major Test series: results from 2024 to 2026, one series in progress, and what is scheduled.

Outside the Ashes, the big Test series of 2024 to 2026 included New Zealand's first series win in India and a 2-2 draw for the new Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. On 22 October 2026 one series is in progress: South Africa v Australia, with Australia one up after the first Test. This page gives each result with its year and source, and the series scheduled next.

Status on 22 October 2026

Every series on this page is finished except one. South Africa v Australia (9 to 31 October 2026, dates per Wikipedia) is in progress, with no series winner. Australia won the first Test; the second, in Gqeberha, was due to end on 22 October and its result is not recorded here. The Ashes has its own page.

South Africa v Australia, 2026-27 (in progress)

Three Tests are scheduled, according to Wikipedia (secondary; Cricket South Africa's own fixture announcement was not opened in our research):

Results from ICC news and New Zealand Cricket's scorecard; the 2-1 series score follows from them, and Wikipedia (secondary) gives the same. A trophy name for this series appeared in one regional news address but on no board's page, so we do not use it.

England won by an innings and 103 runs at Leeds, by 194 runs at Lord's, and by eight wickets at Edgbaston after chasing 130. The ICC described it as a World Test Championship series (12 September 2026, through a search summary).

England v India, 2025: the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, drawn 2-2

On 19 June 2025 the ECB and the BCCI unveiled the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy for England v India Test series, replacing the Pataudi Trophy and the Anthony De Mello Trophy. The first series for it, five Tests in England from June to August 2025, finished 2-2, so the trophy was shared (ICC; BCCI). The Tests were played at Headingley, Edgbaston, Lord's, Old Trafford (drawn) and The Oval. India won the last of them, at The Oval from 31 July to 4 August 2025, by six runs.
