In just over a month, the Springboks will launch their 2025 season against the Barbarians in Cape Town on Saturday 28 June. Kick off is at 17:05.

The Springboks will then host the Incoming Series, which features two Tests against Italy (5 and 12 July) and one against Georgia (19 July).

This will be followed by the Rugby Championship against Australia (16 and 23 August in Johannesburg and Cape Town), the All Blacks (6 and 13 September in New Zealand), and Argentina (27 September and 4 October in Durban and London respectively).

Finally, South Africa will depart on their traditional end of the year tour, which will include games against Wales, France, Italy and Ireland, while there could be another game against Japan added to this schedule.

It can now be confirmed which kick-off times to expect for all of these highly-anticipated fixtures.
