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 despite an up and down 2025, won the Rugby Championship.

This 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.

After a successful Rugby World Cup campaign in which they reached the quarter-finals for the first time, the Springbok Women will be looking to build on their momentum.

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.
