Watched by 132,418 fans - but will Rugby League Ashes stay?

England's disappointing 30-8 defeat and 3-0 series loss to Australia at Headingley may mark the last home game until 2027. There are no home tests scheduled for 2026, and the next game is expected to be against New Zealand 23 months from now. Despite the popularity of the recent Ashes series, with over 132,000 fans attending, the future of regular Ashes events remains uncertain, but there are plans for a tour of Australia in 2028, with details yet to be confirmed, as Australian officials express interest in continuing the series.
