Grant Williams Grant Williams Springboks face off against England in Nations Championship Round 1 on Sat 4th July 2026 at 10bet Ellis Park. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 16:40. In South Africa it’s at 17:40 SAST, 03:40 NZST in New Zealand, 01:40 AEST in Australia and 08:40 EST in the US.
Springboks won the last encounter but Springboks are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 4 places in the rankings with Springboks in position 1 and England in position 5, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Springboks vs England will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
