Springboks face off against England in Nations Championship Round 1 on Sat 4th July 2026 at Ellis Park. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 16:40 and is broadcast on ITV. In South Africa it’s at 17:40 SAST on SuperSport, 03:40 NZST on Sky Sport, Sky Sport Now, Sky Go in New Zealand, 01:40 AEST on Stan Sport in Australia and 08:40 EST on RugbyPass TV 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.

Get a vpn, set to uk up address, download ITVX app and stream. Should work
Here in the USA, I have to subscribe to Flo Rugby, Paramount+ and RugbyPass TV to get the matches that I want through the year. I see that this match will be on RugbyPass TV, the subscription companion to this forum. Paramount+ is carrying the ongoing World Junior Championship and Tier 2 Nations Cup Internationals.
Fred, you can watch it live on Paramount Plus here in the U.S.
