The 2020 Kangaroo Tour was a planned tour by the Australia national rugby league team in England which was going to be the first Kangaroo tour and first Ashes series since 2003. On 1 June 2020, due to scheduling complications resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour was cancelled.[1]

Fixtures

Fixtures against the Toronto Wolfpack at BMO Field on 24 October and a test match against France were among those alleged to have been planned, but were unconfirmed at the time of the tour's cancellation.[2]

The test matches were scheduled for 31 October; 7 November and 14 November, and would have been played at three football grounds; the University of Bolton Stadium, Horwich; Elland Road, Leeds; and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London respectively.[3]
