The British & Irish Lions have reformed for a new tour of rugby fixtures. The 2025 British & Irish Lions' newest tour has its first fixture on Friday, June 20 and we'll help you work out how to watch all ten games in the series.
The British & Irish Lions is a team made up of the best rugby players from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and they last toured in South Africa back in 2021. In full the squad consists of 38 players, roughly a third of whom played in the last tour.
The next tour takes the British & Irish Lions to Australia where they'll play a series of Aussie and New Zealand teams including, for three tests, Australia's national team.
The matches will take place across Australia including in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, although there's one outlier: the first match will see the British & Irish Lions face Argentina in Dublin
So if you're a keen rugby fan, here's how to watch all the matches of the British & Irish Lions tour in Australia.
