When Is the Next All Blacks Game? 2026 Fixtures & Times

This tracker sorts the confirmed dates from the details that are still missing, then shows you where to verify kick-off times and broadcast options before you book your Saturday.

What time is the All Blacks game next week?
Short answer: the fixture list says Australia v New Zealand at Accor Stadium in Sydney on Saturday 17 October 2026, and the All Blacks’ website displays that match as starting at 5:00 pm in the venue’s local time (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official team site)). “Next week” only lands cleanly when you check that page against the current date, because the 2026 calendar is dense: the team opens with France in Christchurch on 4 July, then Italy in Wellington on 11 July, then Ireland at Eden Park on 18 July (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official 2026 home venue announcement)).
What time is the All Blacks game?
- 17 October, Accor Stadium: 5:00 pm venue-local time, per the official listing (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official team site)).
- 10 October, Eden Park: 7:10 pm NZT, per the official home-venue announcement (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official 2026 home venue announcement)).
- Scotland on 7 November: listed as 14:10 in the displayed fixture time (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official team site)).
What time is the All Blacks game on Saturday?
If the Saturday in question is 17 October, the answer is 5:00 pm Sydney time. If it is 10 October, Eden Park kicks off at 7:10 pm NZT. The pattern worth remembering: official times are published in the venue’s local zone, so a fan watching from New Zealand needs to convert the Sydney kick-off, and a fan in Europe needs to convert both.
The All Blacks’ 2026 schedule is heavy on kick-offs that appear to be in venue-local time, which means a Sydney 5:00 pm start is not the same as a New Zealand 5:00 pm. Convert before you set the alarm.
All Blacks next game on TV
The official site is the safest first stop for fixtures and results (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official team site)), while Sky Sports carries New Zealand international fixtures in its rugby union team listing (Sky Sports (rugby broadcaster fixture page)). Broadcast rights for a specific All Blacks game still depend on the region you are watching from.
What is the All Blacks’ schedule for 2026?
New Zealand Rugby’s official home-fixture announcement says the 2026 schedule contains 17 matches, including 13 Tests (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official 2026 home venue announcement)). The season starts at home with France, Italy, and Ireland in July, moves into the Bledisloe Cup in October, and closes with a November tour in Europe.
All Blacks fixtures 2026

- 14 November: Wales, Principality Stadium, Cardiff (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official team site))

August dates also appear in third-party listings: greatest-rivalry.com cites All Blacks matches on 7, 11, 15, and 25 August 2026 (greatest-rivalry.com (rugby comparison site)). The official announcement names only the home series so far, so treat August as a reference point, not the final word.
What is the next big rugby event?
The next big event after the July home series is the Bledisloe Cup double against Australia. New Zealand Rugby’s official promotional terms list the 2026 Australia fixtures on 10 October and 17 October (New Zealand Rugby (official score-predictor terms)), and the 17 October match is the second 2026 Bledisloe Cup fixture against Australia (New Zealand Rugby (official score-predictor terms)). That Sydney game is also the moment the team leaves home soil.
What time is the Bledisloe Cup kick off?
The Bledisloe Cup is the annual New Zealand–Australia rugby series, and in 2026 it is a two-Test double: Eden Park on Saturday 10 October, then Accor Stadium in Sydney on Saturday 17 October (New Zealand Rugby (official score-predictor terms)). The Auckland match kicks off at 7:10 pm NZT (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official 2026 home venue announcement)).
Bledisloe Cup context
- The 10 October fixture is listed first in the official terms; the 17 October fixture is the second Bledisloe Cup match of 2026 (New Zealand Rugby (official score-predictor terms)).
- The trans-Tasman rivalry is detailed in Wikipedia’s summary of the series (Wikipedia (Bledisloe Cup series overview)).
Kick-off time availability
In the supplied search-result snapshots, the Bledisloe Cup 2026 kick-off time is not shown. The specific 5:00 pm Sydney start for 17 October is visible only when you reach the official All Blacks listing (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official team site)). That gap between search results and the source page is why this article keeps sending you to allblacks.com for the final confirmation.
Official confirmation path
New Zealand Rugby’s score-predictor terms are the clearest written confirmation of the double-header dates (New Zealand Rugby (official score-predictor terms)), and the home-venue announcement supplies the Auckland kick-off (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official 2026 home venue announcement)).
A Bledisloe Cup kick-off time that does not appear in search snippets will still appear in the official fixture listing. The risk is showing up a day late because a third-party page rounded the date or dropped the time zone.
Where can I watch the All Blacks game tonight?
“Tonight” depends entirely on when you ask the question. The official All Blacks fixtures page is the first place to check for the actual match date (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official team site)), and Sky Sports lists New Zealand international fixtures on its rugby union team page for the broadcaster’s coverage (Sky Sports (rugby broadcaster fixture page)). TV3 appears in related search demand, but the supplied SERP data does not confirm 2026 TV3 broadcast rights — so treat any “TV3 tonight” claim as unverified until a broadcaster confirms it.
What time is the All Blacks game on TV3?
- The phrasing “All Blacks on TV3” shows up in related searches, but no 2026 TV3 schedule is visible in the provided SERP data.
- The safest confirmation path is the official fixture page plus the broadcaster’s own schedule (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official team site)).
Where can I watch rugby live today?
Rugby live coverage is regional, so a single channel cannot answer every reader’s “today.” The official All Blacks page (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official team site)) and the Sky Sports New Zealand fixtures page (Sky Sports (rugby broadcaster fixture page)) are the two verified sources to check before kick-off. For streaming-specific guidance, the live-stream rundown for the France series covers the same official-broadcaster logic (NZ Public News (All Blacks vs France live stream guide)).
If a free-to-air channel appears in your feed before New Zealand Rugby or the named broadcaster confirms it, treat the claim as a rumour. The official fixtures page publishes the date first; the broadcaster publishes the channel second.
TV3 and broadcaster caveats
The trade-off is simple: official sources give you the match date and venue, while broadcaster pages give you the channel. Neither layer in the supplied data confirms a TV3-specific 2026 schedule.
Are there any rugby matches this weekend?
User questions around this topic repeatedly ask about today, tonight, this weekend, and Saturday (Wikipedia (New Zealand national rugby union team)). The provided SERP data does not include a comprehensive weekend fixture list, so the verified route is the official All Blacks fixtures page and broadcaster schedules.
What rugby matches are playing today?
- The December-to-June window is the All Blacks’ off-season; the July 2026 home series opens against France on 4 July (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official 2026 home venue announcement)).
- In-season weekends with an All Blacks match: 4 July, 11 July, 18 July, 10 October, 17 October, 7 November, 14 November, and 21 November (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official team site)).
What rugby matches are playing tonight?
Tonight’s answer is unknowable from the fixtures page alone; the official site lists dates and venues, not the live broadcast grid for a specific evening (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official team site)). If tonight is a confirmed All Blacks match night, the Sky Sports New Zealand fixtures page is the natural second check (Sky Sports (rugby broadcaster fixture page)).
Where is the rugby being shown on Saturday?
For the two Bledisloe Cup Saturdays, the pattern is consistent: Eden Park on 10 October at 7:10 pm NZT, then Accor Stadium on 17 October at 5:00 pm Sydney time (New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official 2026 home venue announcement)). Who broadcasts each Saturday is a separate question that the supplied data leaves open.

- Bledisloe Cup 2026 kick-off times beyond the official listing are not shown in the supplied search data.
- TV3 broadcasting status for 2026 is not confirmed in the provided SERP data.

What the schedule tells us
The next scheduled All Blacks match shown by the official website is Australia versus New Zealand at Accor Stadium, Sydney, on Saturday 17 October 2026.
New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official team fixtures page)
New Zealand Rugby’s official terms identify 13 All Blacks matches in the 2026 competition schedule, listing the Australia fixtures on 10 and 17 October.
New Zealand Rugby (official score-predictor terms)
The official listing gives the Sydney match as starting at 5:00 in the displayed venue-local time, and the Scotland match as 14:10 in the displayed fixture time.
New Zealand Rugby / All Blacks (official team fixtures page)
The through-line across all three official sources: the 2026 calendar is structured in two halves — a winter home series followed by a Bledisloe Cup double and a November tour. The dates repeat across pages, which is the strongest confidence signal available short of a confirmed broadcast schedule.
For the fan booking travel, the lesson is written into the fixture list: do not rely on search snippets for a kick-off time, because the snippets omit it. Open the official page, read the venue-local time, convert it, and then check the broadcaster for your region. For the fan in New Zealand watching from home, the decision is equally concrete: mark 10 October and 17 October for the Bledisloe Cup, and confirm the Sydney time conversion before Saturday arrives — or risk tuning in after the first try.
