Australia and England will contest the Ashes Test series from 8 December 2020 to 18 January 2021.
Whether spectators will be allowed to attend the matches amid the coronavirus pandemic remains in the balance.
“In a perfect world, we would welcome England fans back to these shores for a summer of singing and sportsmanship,”said Nick Hockley, Cricket Australia interim chief executive officer Nick Hockley.
“Of course, we will be guided by the Australian government on all things related to international travel. We are absolutely thrilled to announce our fixtures for the 2021-22 summer of cricket.
“The lessons learned from successfully delivering a safe summer in '20-21 gives us confidence on what we're able to achieve, and we're all hoping for a summer of full crowds and an Ashes atmosphere we're all accustomed to.
“The Ashes is one of the great global sporting rivalries and seems to grow ever larger with each series and generation. We cannot wait to host England over five Tests this summer.
“The most recent Ashes series was a remarkable contest that captured the imagination of the entire cricketing world and I expect this summer to be no different.”
Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne will host the first, second and third Test, respectively.
Tests four and five will be played in Sydney and Perth, respectively.
“An Ashes series in Australia is a global highlight of the cricketing calendar and is always a focus series for England teams,” added England and Wales Cricket Board chief executive officer Tom Harrison.
“It promises to be a highly competitive and close contest with teams in both series evenly matched. I have little doubt that the rivalry and drama will once again capture the interest of sports lovers across the globe.”
Australia are the reigning Ashes champions. They drew 2019's series with England. The Australians won the 2017 series, though.
