The Springboks take on Italy in a two-Test series in Pretoria and Gqeberha in July, before meeting Georgia in Mbombela in the Incoming Series as the Boks return to home soil in Test match action for the first time since a thrilling 48-7 victory over Argentina in September last year.
The Bok season not only represents an opportunity to see the back-to-back World Champions in local action but also launches a year in which the Boks will be fighting to defend their No. 1 world ranking to secure the most favourable draw for Rugby World Cup 2027.
Tickets for home Test match action will go on sale for the July series on Friday, 16 May, and will be available exclusively from Ticketmaster. You can also join the queue by following this link.
Tickets for the Springboks’ home matches in their defence of the Rugby Championship title will go on sale one month later, on Friday, 13 June.
