How to watch Ashes 2025 online with a VPN | Daily Reports Online
The 2025 Ashes is being widely hailed as England’s best opportunity to wrest back the urn since their last series victory in 2015. Considering Ben Stokes’ shoulder, Jofra Archer’s elbow, Mark Wood’s knee and Joe Root’s recent travails with the bat, it seems a touch optimistic.
It’s a really interesting position to start from, particularly as the tourists only have one warm-up game scheduled. Then again, any more than that and they’ll run the risk of breaking Stokes, Archer and Wood before the Ashes even begin.
The entirety of the five-Test series is free-to-air on 7Plus, but the Australian streaming platform only works Down Under. A good VPN, however, will let you tap into that free Ashes coverage from anywhere.
