Adelaide & The Adelaide Oval

All you need to know about visiting Adelaide and attending the 3rd NRMA Insurance Ashes Test.

What stadium is hosting the 3rd NRMA Insurance Ashes Test in Adelaide?

The Adelaide Oval will host the 3rd Test Match of the 2025/26 NRMA Insurance Ashes Series. Although it has a capacity of 53,000 people, the Adelaide Oval always creates an intimate and electric atmosphere.

Known for its stunning location adjacent to the River Torrens in the centre of the city, the stadium has been able to combine modern facilities with traditional features such as the heritage-listed scoreboard and the Moreton Bay fig trees.

Where is the Adelaide Oval?

The Adelaide Oval sits just across the River Torrens from the heart of Adelaide city centre, on War Memorial Drive, North Adelaide, South Australia, 5006.

What is the best way to get to the Adelaide Oval?

Because of its central location, getting to the Adelaide Oval couldn’t be easier.

• On Foot – The Adelaide Oval is around a 10 to 15 minutes walk from most hotels in the city centre. The Riverbank Footbridge connects the city directly to the Adelaide Oval.

• By Tram – A free city tram service runs along King William Street, which is just a short walk from the stadium. A quick and easy way to get to the Oval.

• By Bus – Several bus routes run close to the Oval, with stops along King William Road or Pennington Terrace. Buses from across Adelaide will drop you within a few minutes’ walk of the stadium. Special event buses also operate on match days for a direct service to the Oval.

• By Taxi – Traditional taxis as well as Uber and other rideshare services operate throughout Adelaide. The journey from downtown Adelaide to the Adelaide Oval should take between 5 and ten minutes, depending on matchday traffic.

• By Car – Paid parking areas such as Gawler Place and the Festival Centre Car Park fill up quickly on matchdays, so it is better not to drive to the Adelaide Oval.

• By Train – If you are staying further out of the city, you can catch a train to Adelaide Railway Station, which is just a 10-minute walk from the stadium via the Riverbank Footbridge.
