About
England v Pakistan at Edgbaston is the closing fixture of a three-Test series and the last men's Test on English soil this summer. Play is scheduled across five days from Wednesday 9 to Sunday 13 September 2026, with an 11am start each day. It is the first men's Test at the ground to be played in September.
When and where is England v Pakistan at Edgbaston?
England play the third and final Test of the series against Pakistan at Edgbaston in Birmingham, from Wednesday 9 to Sunday 13 September 2026, with play scheduled to start at 11am each day. It closes out a three-Test series and stands as the last men's Test of England's home summer, so it carries an end-of-season edge that earlier Tests in the series do not.
It is also Pakistan's first Test tour of England in six years, and the squad's first taste of a full house since 2018; their previous visit, in 2020, was played behind closed doors. Edgbaston last hosted this fixture in August 2016, when England won by 141 runs, and the ground (capacity 25,000) should relish a send-off Test.
The final Test of a three-Test series
Edgbaston stages the third and closing match of England's three home Tests against Pakistan in 2026. The series opens at Headingley and moves to London in August before finishing here in Birmingham, with Pakistan led by Babar Azam, reinstated as Test captain in July 2026.
Is hospitality available for the Edgbaston Test?

Which day of the Edgbaston Test is the one to watch?
The first three days of the Edgbaston Test are the surest bets, each with a full day's play scheduled; the Friday, day 3 (11 September), usually draws the largest and liveliest crowd of the match. Day 4 tends to bring the same quality of cricket in front of a thinner crowd, while day 5 is never guaranteed, since a result or a draw can arrive before it starts.
For the fuller reasoning behind picking a day, our guide to choosing a Test match day breaks down how each day of a Test tends to play out and which one suits different groups.
Travel to Birmingham, overnight accommodation and parking normally sit outside a hosted day. Details vary by suite and group size, so treat all of this as the general shape of a day at the ground rather than anything on offer here.
Getting there and what to know on the day
Gates typically open around two hours before the 11am start, with exact timings confirmed closer to the match.
Bring one bag per person, small enough to fit under your seat; the ground asks guests to travel light where possible, and all bags and persons are searched on entry, so leave anything bulky at your hotel or office before you travel in. Edgbaston also operates as a cashless ground, so bring a card or contactless payment for anything you buy at the ground.
Dress code at Edgbaston
Dress code at Edgbaston varies by suite. The Warwickshire Suite asks for a strict smart dress code, with ripped jeans, sports trainers, flip flops and fancy dress all ruled out. Other hospitality areas are generally smart casual.
If that changes, we will set out what the ground asks for at the time.
Outside alcohol cannot be brought into the ground on an international matchday, and bars operate a Challenge-25 style policy, so photo ID is advised if you look under 25.
Weather is the one variable nobody can host around.
Edgbaston closes out the 2026 England Test series, following on from the opening Test at Headingley and the second Test in London, both in August. All three fixtures put England back in home whites against a Pakistan side making its first full-crowd trip to England since 2018.
