SA Rugby has announced the venues for the Springboks’ three home Nations Championship matches in July.
The Boks will kick off their 2026 season with a blockbuster clash against England at Ellis Park on Saturday, 4 July, followed by encounters against Scotland at Loftus Versfeld (11 July) and Wales at Kings Park (18 July).
England last toured South Africa in 2018 and Scotland more than a decade ago in 2014. Wales were the most recent visitors in 2022.
The clash against England will be keenly anticipated as Steve Borthwick’s men are on an 11-match winning run and ranked third in the world.
During the November window of the Nations Championship, the Boks will face Italy (weekend of 6-8 November), France (weekend of 13-15 November) and Ireland (21 November) in Europe to complete their fixtures against all Six Nations teams.
This will be followed by the finals weekend, scheduled for 27-29 November at Twickenham, with three days of double headers as the Nations Championship draws to a dramatic climax.
Ticket sales details and kick-off times for the home Tests will be announced in due course.
