This guide is here to tell you every South Africa rugby fixture currently confirmed.

Last year was a memorable one for the double world champion Springboks, who won all but two of their matches in 2024.  But despite an up and down 2025, South Africa won the Rugby Championship.

The South Africa rugby fixture list has taken the Springboks north of the equator in November, for Autumn Nations Series games against France, Italy, Ireland and Wales – as well as a match against Japan at Wembley Stadium in London.

Next season will see a major change to their schedule, however, as the Rugby Championship takes a year off. In its place, the All Blacks will embark on a tour of South Africa – including three Tests against the Springboks.

After a successful Rugby World Cup campaign in which they reached the quarter-finals, the Springbok Women’s fixtures are now finished for the year.

If you’d like to read more about the South Africa rugby team, here are our 12 top Springboks of all time.

You can see other teams’ schedules in our guides to upcoming England, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales fixtures.
