Streaming details for the southern hemisphere competition, wherever you are in the world
Super Rugby Pacific is back, with one of rugby’s best tournaments running from February to July 2025, and the good news is that there are broadcasters all over the world for you to watch the action.
The tournament, which dates back to 1996, involves five New Zealand franchises, four Australian franchises, and two Pacific Island teams. They’ll each play 14 matches over the course of the regular season, including double-headers between certain teams. The top six teams then progress to the Finals Series, a knock-out phase that leads to the Grand Final on a date that has yet to be decided.
