After Australia's close victory in the first and only test match of the tournament, England are going to have to work hard to pull the tournment back in this match, and the following two Twenty20s and three ODIs.
Unlike the men's Ashes, the women's equivalent isn't a Test series; it instead gets a medley of game formats with one test, three Twenty20s and three ODIs, so the action is always changing.
The action moves to England this time around, with the matches taking place in various cricket grounds around the country. You can find a schedule below that tells you when and where the matches will fall.
So here's how to watch the Women's Ashes 2023 in your region, in case you're stumped on how to do so. Oh, and we've also got a guide on how to watch The Ashes if you want to catch the men's version too, and luckily there's not too much overlap.
