Lions face off against Sharks in United Rugby Championship Round 8 on Sat 20th February 2027 at Ellis Park. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 12:00 and is broadcast on Premier Sports. In South Africa it’s at 14:00 SAST on SuperSport, 01:00 NZST on URC TV in New Zealand, 23:00 AEST on URC TV in Australia and 04:00 EST on Flo Rugby in the US.
Lions 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 2 places in the league table with Sharks in 5th and Lions in 7th underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Lions vs Sharks will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
