Wales face off against Japan in Nations Championship Round 4 on Sat 7th November 2026 at Principality Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 16:40. In South Africa it’s at 18:40 SAST, 05:40 NZST in New Zealand, 03:40 AEST in Australia and 08:40 EST in the US.
Wales won the last encounter but Japan 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 Japan in position 9 and Wales in position 11, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Wales vs Japan will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
