More International Cricket to be played at Uptonsteel Grace Road in 2026

Uptonsteel Grace Road is set for another unforgettable summer of international cricket in 2026, with three exciting England fixtures heading to Leicester.

The ground will once again play host to some of the brightest young talents in the game, as well as top-level women’s international action.

June begins with two competitive 50-over matches against South Africa. First up, the England Lions take centre stage as they face South Africa A, offering supporters a brilliant opportunity to watch the next wave of England stars on their journey to full international honours. Later in the month, England U19s meet South Africa U19s in what promises to be another high-energy encounter showcasing the best young players from both nations.

In September, attention turns to the women’s game as England Women return to Leicester for an ODI against Ireland. With England continuing to build depth and momentum on the world stage, this fixture is set to deliver high-quality cricket and a fantastic atmosphere for fans of all ages.

With three dynamic fixtures across the summer, 2026 is shaping up to be another standout year of England action at Uptonsteel Grace Road. Make sure you’re part of it.

Tickets will be on sale soon.
