Greatest Rivalry Tour.
Rugby fans in the UK and Ireland will be able to watch every moment of this year’s highly anticipated Greatest Rivalry Tour, with Sky Sports set to broadcast the historic series.
The tour marks the first full All Blacks tour of South Africa in 30 years and features eight matches, including four Tests between the Springboks and New Zealand, as well as fixtures against the Stormers, Sharks, Bulls and Lions before the series concludes with a historic fourth Test in Baltimore, USA.
Promoted as Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry, the tour celebrates one of sport’s most iconic match-ups and promises to be one of the biggest events on the rugby calendar. Springboks captain Siya Kolisi described the occasion as something special, saying:
“I’ve no doubt this is going to be something huge and something this generation will never forget.”
For supporters in the UK and Ireland, Sky Sports will provide live coverage of the tour, giving fans the opportunity to follow every match as two of rugby’s greatest nations renew their rivalry.
The All Blacks arrived in South Africa last week to a rousing reception as anticipation continues to build for a tour that is expected to play a major role in both sides’ preparations for the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
Check out the full fixture list below. All times are local, so go back one hour for the UK & Ireland kick-offs, except for the final one in Baltimore, which is five hours behind.
