How to watch Rugby Championship 2021: live stream every game online from anywhere

South Africa may be the champions, but the All Blacks are going to take some stopping as they look to wrestle back their crown. You can see all the action by following our guide on how to watch a 2021 Rugby Championship live stream – including for free

The Springboks are the reigning world champions and No. 1-ranked side on the planet and returned to the tournament straight off the back of a bruising Lions series victory – how New Zealand would love to knock them off their perch.

The Boks and the All Blacks both have claims over the title of reigning champion, South Africa having triumphed in 2019 before New Zealand took home last year’s abbreviated Tri Nations series.

As ever, the Rugby Championship contained the final two legs of the Bledisloe Cup. But New Zealand were just too much for Australia – will South Africa and Argentina have any better luck?

Argentina did after all beat the Kiwis for the first time ever last year, and Ian Foster’s men have played very little competitive rugby since. The Wallabies, meanwhile, have a new-look squad that blends youth with experience, and may well be the tournament’s dark horse.

We’re all set, so follow our guide as we explain all the ways to get a 2021 Rugby Championship live stream wherever you are right now – starting with how to watch the Rugby Championship for FREE in Australia. We also have a Rugby Championship fixture list at the bottom of the page – with Covid throwing some of the scheduling into disarray.

How to live stream Rugby Championship from outside your country

If you’re outside your country of residence – whether that be the UK or anywhere else – and try to start streaming the Rugby Championship via your native broadcaster, you’ll soon discover that you can’t, as it’s location restricted. But there is a way to tune in regardless.

By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it’s back at home. That way you can enjoy your home coverage without having to find an illegal stream – assuming you comply with the broadcaster’s fine print, of course – specifically its terms and conditions.
