International cricket at Durham offers supporters much more than the action on the pitch, with a full day of entertainment, food, drink and family experiences at Banks Homes Riverside.
Watching England live provides supporters with the opportunity to experience international cricket first-hand, alongside thousands of fellow fans, with a packed day of entertainment and action both on and off the field.
In 2027, Banks Homes Riverside will host two England internationals, with fixtures at both the start and end of the summer to give supporters two opportunities to experience the excitement of international cricket in Durham.
The season gets underway at the Riverside on Sunday 23 May, when England take on Pakistan in a One Day International, providing the perfect opportunity to kick-start the summer of cricket.
International cricket then returns to Durham on Tuesday 7 September, with England facing New Zealand in a T20 international under the lights, starting at 6:30 pm, providing a fitting end to the summer season.
With two different formats, two high-profile opponents and fixtures at opposite ends of the summer, there are plenty of reasons to make international cricket at Banks Homes Riverside part of your 2027 plans.
