Rugby World Cup 2023 fixtures: Dates, kick-off times and results
The full list of Rugby World Cup 2023 fixtures, including dates, times and knockout round information.
Rugby World Cup fixtures will return with an intriguing penultimate round of matches that will set up the dominoes ready to fall in the final batch of games.
There's plenty going on in each group as New Zealand know they can't afford any mistakes against Italy in their Pool A match to come, while Scotland need a big victory over Romania and results to fall their way elsewhere to keep the faint flickers of qualification hopes alive.
Fiji can move a step closer to qualification from Pool C as they face Georgia, while Australia are in disarray following their brutal defeat to Wales last weekend. Japan face Samoa in what has the air of a de facto knockout match in Pool D.
Who's next? England fixtures | Ireland fixtures | Scotland fixtures | Wales fixtures
France, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa were the pre-tournament elite pack of favourites but anything can happen over the coming weeks, with intriguing pool situations likely to cause more than a few upsets.
Fans across the globe will be clearing their calendars this autumn as the Rugby World Cup prepares to dominate attention.
RadioTimes.com brings you the full Rugby World Cup 2023 fixture list, including dates and UK kick-off times.
