The top nations in the rugby world will all be in action as a hectic programme of November Tests gets underway across Europe.

The Autumn Nations Series returns a year after a captivating World Cup with the Southern Hemisphere giants again travelling north to test themselves against the Six Nations’ constituent unions.

South Africa arrive as both world champions and, for the first time since 2019, Rugby Championship winners, with the Springboks dominant against New Zealand, Australia and Argentina.

They take on England, Wales and Scotland this November, while Ireland will be out for a measure of World Cup revenge against the All Blacks.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is the Autumn Nations Series?

The Autumn Nations series takes place across the five weekends in November as part of a loaded programme of men’s international rugby in Europe and elsewhere.

How can I watch it?

TNT Sports have the rights to the series for the first time in the United Kingdom, taking over from Amazon and supplementing the broadcaster’s coverage of England’s Premiership and Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR). Every match will be live on TNT’s channels, and streamed via discovery+.

If you want to stream major sporting events while you are travelling or watching from abroad you’ll need a VPN. Get the best VPN deals in the UK. Viewers using a VPN need to make sure that they comply with any local regulations where they are, and also with the terms of their service provider.
