Perth will host two major international cricket fixtures in the 2026/27 season, with Australia set to face England in a one-day international on 13 November, followed by a Test match against New Zealand from 9 to 13 December.
The matches are expected to draw large crowds, bringing together local supporters and travelling fans keen to watch top-tier cricket at one of Australia’s leading sporting venues. The fixtures add to Perth’s steady stream of international sporting events, strengthening its position as a regular host for elite competition.
Local businesses are likely to see increased activity around the match dates, with hospitality, accommodation and transport sectors typically benefiting from the influx of visitors. Tourism operators will also be watching closely, as international fixtures tend to attract both domestic and overseas spectators, often extending stays beyond match days.
For organisers and sporting bodies, the announcement reflects ongoing confidence in Perth’s infrastructure and its ability to deliver events that meet international expectations. The stadium’s facilities continue to play a central role in attracting high-profile matches, offering players and fans a consistent experience.
While the focus will be on the cricket, the broader impact is expected to be felt across the local economy, as well as among communities that come together to support these matches, reinforcing Perth’s role as a key destination on the international cricket calendar.

We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability.
