All Blacks face off against France in Nations Championship 1 on Sat 4th July 2026 at One NZ Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 08:10. In South Africa it’s at 09:10 SAST, 19:10 NZST in New Zealand, 17:10 AEST in Australia and 00:10 EST in the US.
All Blacks won the last encounter but France are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 2 places in the rankings with All Blacks in position 2 and France in position 4, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for All Blacks vs France will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
