Lions face off against Sharks in United Rugby Championship Round 8 on Sat 21st February 2026 at Ellis Park. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 12:00. In South Africa it’s at 14:00 SAST, 01:00 NZST in New Zealand, 23:00 AEST in Australia and 04:00 EST in the US.
Sharks won the last encounter but Sharks are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 5 places in the league table with Sharks in 7th and Lions in 12th underlining just how tight this match could be.
