Your complete guide to Wales rugby fixtures over the coming season

TAGS:

Want to know when you can watch the Welsh men’s and women’s teams in action this season? This guide to Wales rugby fixtures tells you everything you need to know, including kick-off times and (where available) information on venues.

In a break with recent tradition, Warren Gatland’s men’s team have decided against playing four matches in November. Instead the Principality Stadium will host a triple bill against Fiji, and – fresh from the Rugby Championship – Australia and South Africa. Then, in January Wales travel to Paris to kick off a Six Nations campaign in which they’ll be desperate to bounce back from last season’s wooden spoon – especially with places on next summer’s British & Irish Lions tour up for grabs.

For the women’s team, this year’s Wales rugby fixtures are effectively an extended warm-up for next summer’s World Cup in England. Next up is a trip to South Africa to play Australia, Italy and Japan in the WXV2 tournament, before they take on the biggest sides in Europe in the 2025 Women’s Six Nations. We’ll add details of the team’s World Cup 2025 schedule as soon as it’s announced.

To find out when other international and club sides are playing, check out our detailed round-up of rugby fixtures around the world, as well as our guides to England rugby fixtures, New Zealand rugby fixtures and South Africa rugby fixtures.
