Travel Guide
Travelling to the ICC World Test Championship Final 2027
The final is a single Test at Kia Oval in London, scheduled for 9–13 June 2027. Because it is one match in one city, planning is refreshingly simple: a single London base for the match window is usually all that is required.

What can be planned now
Travel documents
Check passport validity and review the entry requirements that apply to your nationality before travelling to the United Kingdom.
The match window
The final is scheduled for 9–13 June 2027. A Test can finish inside five days, so allow for the full window when planning arrival and departure.
Base in London
Because this is a single match in one city, a single London base is usually sufficient for the whole trip.
Flexible arrangements
Prefer travel and accommodation options that can be changed, in case your plans shift around the match window.
London as the host city
London hosts the final and offers a wide range of accommodation, transport and things to do around the match. CricketVision already publishes detailed London guidance for its England cricket coverage, which applies equally to a trip built around the final.
For a fuller picture of the city and its cricket venues, see the existing London host-city guide and the Kia Oval ground guide.
Getting to and around London
- Kia Oval sits in Kennington, south London, close to central London.
- London's public transport network connects the airports, mainline stations and the ground.
- Match days are busy — allow extra time for travel and entry procedures.
- Confirm the day's start time and gate information through official channels before setting out.
Exact routes, journey times and fares change over time and should be checked against official transport sources close to travel.
Planning around the 9–13 June window
A Test match runs across up to five days but can conclude early. Building the trip around the full 9–13 June window keeps the plan safe whichever way the match goes, while flexible bookings allow for an earlier finish.
Continuing the cricket trip
The final ends on 13 June 2027 and the Men's Ashes begins on 18 June 2027, so some visitors may wish to extend a single trip across both. If that is of interest, the Men's Ashes 2027 hub covers that series separately.
