Autumn Internationals rugby on TV 2025: Fixtures, schedule, times and dates

Test rugby is back on our screens this weekend with the start of the Autumn Internationals.

Next year's Six Nations are not far off and teams are beginning to look toward the World Cup in 2027, so the home nations will want to make the most of the chance to challenge themselves against the best in the world in the coming weeks.

England will be out for some revenge when they host Australia at Twickenham on Saturday after last year's dramatic defeat to the Wallabies.

While Wales are not in action this weekend, South Africa take on Japan at Wembley and Scotland begin the Autumn Internationals by hosting the USA at Murrayfield – with bigger challenges to come.

A bumper Saturday wraps up with Ireland taking on New Zealand in Chicago, where they claimed their first victory against the All Blacks nearly a decade ago.

There is more than usual on the line over the next month as teams bid to secure vital rankings points ahead of the World Cup 2027 draw in early December.
