Most Autumn Internationals (Autumn Nations Series) are shown on major sports broadcasters like TNT Sports/Discovery+ in the UK & Ireland, Peacock in the USA, Stan Sport in Australia, and SuperSport in South Africa. Some pubs and sports bars also advertise showing all games live, especially in rugby-mad cities.

Main broadcasters by country

  • UK & Ireland
    • TNT Sports is the primary rights holder for the Autumn Nations Series, with games available via the Discovery+ Premium streaming add‑on and as a channel through Sky, BT, EE and Virgin Media.
* Select games involving Wales may also appear free-to-air in Welsh via S4C and BBC iPlayer, but the bulk of the series is behind the TNT/Discovery+ paywall.
  • United States
    • Peacock (NBC’s streaming service) carries Autumn Nations Series games, typically under its sports/rugby section.
* Access usually requires a paid Peacock Premium subscription, which then gives you other rugby and football content too.
  • Australia
    • Stan Sport has become the go‑to platform for international rugby, including Autumn Internationals involving the Wallabies and other Tier 1 nations.
* It’s an add‑on to a regular Stan subscription and is marketed as ad‑free live coverage.
  • South Africa & wider Africa
    • SuperSport shows the Springboks’ November Tests and other big Autumn Nations Series fixtures.
* Coverage is via DStv satellite packages and associated streaming options.
  • New Zealand & some European territories
    • Sky Sport NZ holds rights for the All Blacks’ November Tests as part of the broader Autumn Nations Series slate.
* In parts of Europe (for example, Switzerland), some platforms like Sky Sport offer complete Autumn Nations Series passes via their own apps.

Pubs, bars and fan venues

  • Many rugby-focused pubs in the UK and Ireland advertise full Autumn Internationals schedules, often on their websites, with dates and kick‑off times for each weekend in November.
  • These venues typically rely on TNT/Discovery+ feeds, so if you see them promoting “Autumn Internationals here all month,” that’s usually what they are using.

Looking ahead to 2026

  • From 2026, the Autumn Internationals plug into the new Nations Championship structure, with multiple rounds and a finals weekend scheduled across November.
  • Broadcasters have not fully published region-by-region TV and streaming details yet, but the expectation is that existing partners (TNT, Stan Sport, Peacock, SuperSport, Sky Sport, etc.) will continue to be main options for live coverage.
