This guide tells you everything we know so far about South Africa rugby fixtures in 2025. We’re still waiting on a few details to be confirmed – including the timing of the Springboks’ Rugby Championship encounters with the All Blacks – but we’ll update this guide as soon as they’re announced.

It’s been a memorable 12 months for the double world champion men’s team, who won all but two of their matches in 2024. Can Rassie Erasmus take his side to even greater heights four South Africa’s rugby fixtures in 2025? You’d expect the Springboks to win their July tests against Italy and Georgia, but the Rugby Championship will be a tricky one to call – especially now that New Zealand, Australia and Argentina are all looking competitive.

The women’s side, meanwhile, have qualified for the Rugby World Cup next summer, and kick off their tournament against Brazil.

You can see other teams’ schedules in our guides to upcoming England, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales fixtures. For other international and club sides, check out our detailed round-up of rugby fixtures around the world.
