Lions face off against Connacht in United Rugby Championship Round 16 on Sat 25th April 2026 at Ellis Park. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 15:00 and is broadcast on Premier Sports. In South Africa it’s at 16:00 SAST on SuperSport, 02:00 NZST on URC TV in New Zealand, 00:00 AEST on URC TV in Australia and 07:00 EST on Flo Rugby in the US.
Lions won the last encounter but both teams are in the same form for their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 2 places in the league table with Connacht in 7th and Lions in 9th underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Lions vs Connacht will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
