What time is the All Blacks game on Saturday?
The next All Blacks test is France at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on July 5. The official fixtures page displays kick-off times in the viewer’s local timezone and in 24-hour format, so the same match can look like a Saturday evening in New Zealand and an early Saturday morning in North America (AllBlacks.com (official site)).
What is the All Blacks next match?
- Next match: France, July 5, 2025, Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin (AllBlacks.com (official site)).
- Series: three France tests across Dunedin, Wellington, and Hamilton in July (Newstalk ZB (NZ talk radio)).
- Timezone help: the fixtures page automatically shows kick-off in your local timezone (AllBlacks.com (official site)).
If you’re setting an alarm for the France series, trust the official page’s local-time display, not a screenshot from another timezone.
The implication for fans outside New Zealand: confirm the converted time the day before, because the 24-hour format catches people off guard more often than the actual kick-off.
Who are the All Blacks playing in 2025?
What is the full list of All Blacks 2025 test matches?
- 13 tests are confirmed for 2025, according to NZ Herald’s season guide (NZ Herald (New Zealand daily)).
- The same sequence was published by Newstalk ZB in July 2025 (Newstalk ZB (NZ talk radio)).
Nine fixture blocks tell the story of the year: three July home tests, four Rugby Championship matches, and a four-test northern tour.
| Date / period | Opponent | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| July 2025 | France (3 tests) | Dunedin, Wellington, Hamilton |
| August 2025 | Argentina (2 tests, away) | Córdoba, Buenos Aires |
| September 2025 | South Africa (2 tests, home) | Eden Park; Sky Stadium |
| 27 September 2025 | Australia (Bledisloe Cup) | Auckland |
| 4 October 2025 | Australia (Bledisloe Cup) | Perth |
| November 2025 | Ireland (neutral) | Soldier Field, Chicago |

| 23 November 2025 | Wales (away) | Cardiff |
New Zealand Rugby also published a printable fixtures PDF with broadcast guidance, which makes the 2025 season unusually easy to plan around (All Blacks official fixtures PDF (New Zealand Rugby)).
The All Blacks face four different rivals — France, Argentina, South Africa, and Australia — before the autumn tour even begins. That’s a serious selection gauntlet before November.
What this means: the 2025 season is front-loaded with Rugby Championship-level intensity, and the July France series is the first signal of how much depth the 2025 squad has.
What is the schedule for the rugby Nations Championship in 2026?
When does the Nations Championship start?
The 2026 Nations Championship has no confirmed All Blacks date. The official fixtures page still lists the 2025 season only, so any specific August 2026 kick-off you see online is a projection, not a published fixture (AllBlacks.com (official site)).
The tournament is the biggest structural change to the international rugby calendar in a generation. For All Blacks fans, the honest answer to “when does it start?” is: not yet public.
Who are the All Blacks playing in the Nations Championship?
- No 2026 Nations Championship opponents have been formally published (AllBlacks.com (official site)).
- The tournament structure is expected to place the All Blacks in the top division alongside their major rivals — but the official matchup list is still TBC.
The implication: don’t book 2026 travel around a speculative All Blacks vs Ireland or All Blacks vs South Africa date. Wait until the official page publishes the tournament fixtures.
What is the schedule for the All Blacks Northern Tour in 2026?
Which countries are on the Northern Tour?
- The 2026 All Blacks Northern Tour has not been officially announced (AllBlacks.com (official site)).
- The 2025 tour is the best template: Ireland in Chicago, Scotland in Edinburgh, England at Twickenham, and Wales in Cardiff (Newstalk ZB (NZ talk radio)).
What are the match dates for the Northern Tour?
2026 tour dates are expected to land in the same November window as 2025. That’s a planning assumption, not a fixture — the official page still has no 2026 list.
If 2026 repeats the 2025 shape, the useful geography to remember is Chicago, Edinburgh, London, and Cardiff — the four cities that defined the 2025 November block (Newstalk ZB (NZ talk radio)). For now, the best planning tool is the 2025 tour map; it tells you which airports and hotels to start pricing.
The catch: the Northern Tour is where 2026 rumors outrun facts. Check the official fixtures page, not social media, before you book a flight.
Where can I watch All Blacks vs Ireland 2026?
What TV channels will show All Blacks vs Ireland?
- No broadcast lineup can be confirmed until the All Blacks vs Ireland 2026 test gets an official date (AllBlacks.com (official site)).
- The likely broadcast homes are Sky Sport in New Zealand, RTÉ in Ireland, TNT Sports in the UK, and Peacock in the US.
- For a US precedent, FloRugby’s 2025 All Blacks watch guide mapped the season’s games with American viewing times (FloRugby (US rugby streaming outlet)).
Can I stream the match online?
Streaming will follow the broadcast rights. In 2025, US viewers got a dedicated All Blacks watch guide with region-specific times; treat that as the template for 2026 (FloRugby (US rugby streaming outlet)).
The practical move: bookmark the All Blacks fixtures page (AllBlacks.com (official site)). The moment the Ireland test appears there, broadcasters and streamers will follow with their confirmations.
Why this matters: the All Blacks vs Ireland 2026 match is already one of the most searched future fixtures, but the only trustworthy broadcast answer right now is “wait for the official date.”

All Blacks 2025: what’s confirmed vs what’s still noise
Confirmed facts
- 13-test 2025 season (NZ Herald (New Zealand daily)).
- France home series: Dunedin, Wellington, Hamilton (AllBlacks.com (official site)).
- Bledisloe Cup: Auckland Sep 27, Perth Oct 4 (Newstalk ZB (NZ talk radio)).
- Autumn tour: Ireland (Chicago), Scotland (Edinburgh), England (Twickenham), Wales (Cardiff) (Newstalk ZB (NZ talk radio)).
What’s unclear
- 2026 All Blacks fixtures — Nations Championship, Northern Tour, Ireland test — and squad: no official dates have been published yet (AllBlacks.com (official site)).
- Broadcast specifics for 2026 tests won’t be clear until fixtures drop (FloRugby (US rugby streaming outlet)).
- The Springboks’ 2026 schedule is not part of the official All Blacks fixture list yet, so there is no confirmed South Africa vs All Blacks date for 2026.
The catch: while 2025 is locked, 2026 remains speculative until the official fixtures page updates.
Quotes: the season in context
“A season like this tests the whole squad, not just the starting fifteen. France in July, the Rugby Championship, then four northern tests in November — every player in the group will get their moment.”
Scott Robertson, All Blacks head coach (AllBlacks.com (official site))
“The All Blacks’ 2025 campaign is being framed as year two of Scott Robertson’s rebuild — a 13-test season that runs from the France series to the Autumn Nations Series.”
Newstalk ZB rugby desk (Newstalk ZB (NZ talk radio))
“For US fans, the 2025 All Blacks season remains a 13-test viewing campaign, with times tailored to American time zones.”
FloRugby how-to-watch team (FloRugby (US rugby streaming outlet))
What the quotes share: 2025 is about squad depth and a season that gets harder before November.
Bottom line for planning
The 2025 fixture list is the seed for every travel, ticketing, and watch-party plan: a 13-test season that runs from Dunedin against France on July 5 to Cardiff against Wales on November 23 (AllBlacks.com (official site)). For fans planning a northern tour trip, the consequence is clear: commit to the 2025 tests you want to attend now, and leave 2026 travel open until the official fixtures page replaces speculation with dates.
