Can Wales avoid an unwanted record by securing their first win of 2024?
The hosts need a win to avoid an unwanted record, while the visitors are looking to follow up last week’s impressive victory over England. You won’t want to miss a second of the final Autumn Nations Series game of the weekend, and this guide explains how to watch Wales v Australia live streams wherever you are in the world today – including options to watch for free in the UK.
Kick-off: 4.10pm GMT, Sunday 17 November
Watch for FREE in the UK (Welsh commentary): S4C/BBC iPlayer.
Watch in the UK and Ireland: TNT Sports
Watch in the US: Peacock
Both of these sides are in the midst of a rebuild but have had differing fortunes since their two meetings in July. Last weekend’s defeat to Fiji saw Wales equal the team’s record for consecutive defeats – one more loss and it’s their worst-ever run of results. Joe Schmidt’s Australia, meanwhile, are showing signs of recovery after a dismal World Cup, with a win over Argentina in the Rugby Championship and last weekend’s heroics at Twickenham suggesting that the 2025 British & Irish Lions tour may be more competitive than we thought. In short, Warren Gatland’s team will need everything to click if they’re going to bring their losing streak to an end.
Make sure you don’t miss this Principality Stadium encounter with this guide to watching a Wales v Australia live stream wherever you are in the world today. The stadium roof is closed once again, so conditions should be ideal.

Watch Wales v Wallabies from abroad
Away from home for work or a vacation today? That doesn’t mean you have to miss out on watching Wales take on the Wallabies. Rugby-loving fans who are travelling overseas can watch their usual service with the help of a VPN.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a handy piece of software that allows you to change your device’s IP address. This means you can view live or on-demand TV content as if you were sitting at home in front of your own television, even when you’re overseas – provided it complies with your service’s T&Cs, of course.
The technology experts from TechRadar love NordVPN for its strong privacy features, ease of use, and the fact it allows you to watch your favourite TV on multiple devices simultaneously. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support, and it’s currently available at a knockdown price.
