Where to Watch the Cricket in Perth This Summer

Perth’s summer is made for cricket; long afternoons, cold drinks, big screens and plenty of time to debate whether that was actually out.

This summer is shaping up to be a big one for Australian cricket, with England returning for a white-ball series before New Zealand arrives for the first Test of the season in Perth from Wednesday 9 to Sunday 13 December.

Whether you’re settling in for the West Test, following the Perth Scorchers through another Big Bash campaign or simply looking for somewhere to catch the action with your mates, these Perth pubs have cricket and live sport on the menu.
