The Springboks will be back home for another home Test schedule. SA Rugby has officially announced the venues for the six home matches, with the world champions set to play in Pretoria, Gqeberha, Nelspruit, Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban.
The Castle Lager Incoming Series kicks off on 5 July at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria, marking Italy’s first visit to South Africa since 2013. The two sides will then clash again a week later, on 12 July, at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha—making it the first time the Boks play in the city since 2021. The series wraps up with a historic third-ever Test against Georgia on 19 July at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.
The Springboks will then shift focus to their Rugby Championship title defence, beginning with two back-to-back home Tests against Australia at Emirates Airline Park in Johannesburg (16 August) and DHL Stadium in Cape Town (23 August). The home leg concludes on 27 September in Durban, where the Boks will take on Argentina at Hollywoodbets Kings Park before facing the Pumas again in London the following week.
