The biggest match in rugby union is here, with the Rugby World Cup final to be contested by England and South Africa on Saturday evening in Yokohama. This is The Roar’s guide to live streaming the match online, or watching it on TV in Australia.
The match is set to be played in Yokohama at the International Stadium, which has hosted plenty of matches throughout what has been an exciting tournament, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm (AEDT) on Saturday, November 2.
The English were shock winners last weekend when they went past the All Blacks in their semi-final, coming full circle from four years ago when they couldn’t even make it out of the pool stage of their home World Cup.
On the other hand, South Africa were favoured to beat Wales in the other semi-final and did just that, booking this rivalry as the final of rugby’s biggest tournament on the calendar.
The final of this year’s World Cup will be available to watch on both Fox Sports and Channel Ten in Australia, with both broadcasters of the Rugby World Cup unsurprisingly holding the rights to the match after simulcasting Wallabies games, as well as select others throughout the tournament.
Channel Ten are the free to air channel and will show the match on their main channel with a one-hour build-up, meaning their broadcast starts at 7pm (AEDT).
Fox Sports, on the other hand, will provide ad-break free coverage during live play and also begin their broadcast at 7pm (AEDT) on Channel 503.
To watch the match on Fox Sports, you will need to ensure you have a valid Foxtel TV subscription, which is complete with the sports package of channels.
As the final of the tournament is being shown on both Fox Sports and Channel Ten, there will be plenty of options available to those who would prefer to live stream the final of the tournament.
The best of those will be to go through the coverage provided by sports streaming platform Kayo Sports, who have the rights to all of Foxtel’s sporting content and other selected events, meaning they have live streamed every game of the Rugby World Cup.
This huge match between England and the Springboks is also available to live stream on the traditional Foxtel applications, being the Foxtel App for those with a TV subscription, and Foxtel Now for those who only want to live stream channels.
You’ll also be able to use TenPlay to live stream Channel Ten’s coverage of the Rugby World Cup final for free, although you will need to sign up with a valid email address.
Here at The Roar, you’ll be able to follow the final of the tournament with our live scores, blog and highlights from 7:45pm (AEDT) on Saturday evening.
